The Haavara Agreement

Imagine that you have a bad roommate that you want to move, so you agree to help him move to another area which he got for a steel. In doing so you hope he moves out easily, but he ends up just telling lies so other people attack, while he lives for free somewhere else. This is very similar to the type of agreement the Haavara Agreement was. The Haavara Agreement was agreement between National Socialists Germany and British Empire signed on 25 August 1933, to help the Jews move out of Germany, after they declared war on their host nation. This agreement made it possible for 60,000 German Jews to emigrate to Palestine between 1933-1939.

Originally the plan called for them to be moved to Madagascar, but the British stepped in, and were even part of the Belford Act, to give the Jews Palestine.

Even the ones that did decide to stay, got sent to their own part of the cities called ghettos, but only after they started attacking the German people. Later when the war started the Jews would be sent to labor camps, instead of a “death camp.”
