Haim Arlosoroff (23 February 1899 – 16 June 1933; also known as Chaim Arlozorov; Hebrew: חיים ארלוזורוב) was a Socialist Zionist leader of the Yishuv during the British Mandate for Palestine, prior to the establishment of Israel, and Head of the Political Department of the Jewish Agency. In 1933, Arlosoroff was assassinated while walking on the beach with his wife in Tel Aviv.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Haim Arlosoroff was born on February 23, 1899, into a Jewish family in Romny, Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire). In Russia, he was known as Vitaly, the Russian equivalent of Haim. When living in Germany, he was known as Viktor.[2] Arlosoroff's paternal grandfather was Rabbi Eliezer Arlosoroff of Romny, an author of religious commentaries on the Talmud.[2] At the age of six, Arlosoroff encountered antisemitism for the first time, when in 1905, the Arlosoroff family home in Romny was attacked during a violent pogrom. The family fled across the German border to East Prussia. Seven years later, the family settled in Königsberg, Germany (now the Russian city of Kaliningrad).[2] Arlosoroff thus became fluent in German, in addition to studying Hebrew with a tutor.[3] When World War I began in 1914, the family did not possess German citizenship, and thus faced threats of deportation. The family eventually obtained permission to move to Berlin.[3] When his father, Saul, returned to Russia on business, he was barred from returning and died there of cholera. Arlosoroff studied economics at the University of Berlin and obtained a doctorate in that subject.[4] During his studies, he wrote articles on Zionist affairs. In Germany, he became a key leader of Hapoel Hatzair (also Ha-Po'el ha-Tza'ir, Hebrew for "The Young Worker"),[5] a socialist political party which attracted many of the intellectuals of the time. As a result of his party affiliation, Arlosoroff was appointed editor of Die Arbeit (German for "The Labour"), a journal in which his writings were first published.[5]

Arlosoroff was not religiously observant. His precociousness and his strong national feelings as a Jew can be seen in a letter he wrote at age 17 to his German literature teacher: "I am a Jew, and I feel strong and proud of my Jewishness. I feel it in my bones that I am different from a German, and it would never occur to me to deny this... My soul yearns for the unique, ancient Hebrew culture. But I also like German culture, and perhaps I am also afraid to admit how great my love for it is... Yet, Goethe and Schiller never really touched my heart closely."[6]

In 1919, Arlosoroff published the treatise "Jewish People's Socialism", his first major written contribution relating to a nationalistic hope for the Jewish people in Eretz Israel.[5] In his treatise, Arlosoroff distanced himself from traditional Marxist beliefs by advocating a new brand of socialism that embraced a national consciousness.[7] Arlosoroff's contention was that the Jewish people would only be able to preserve and revive their unique cultural identities within a Jewish national homeland.[8] Arlosoroff further professed, that through the establishment of "Jewish People's Socialism", Jews would be guaranteed public land ownership upon their return to Eretz Israel.[9] In accord with the visions of other socialist Zionists of his time, Arlosoroff believed that ancient Biblical agricultural traditions, such as the "Sabbath Year" and "Year of Jubilee", could be restored in modern practice alongside institutional parameters established for the new Jewish nation.[9] Arlosoroff's treatise accurately foresaw a modern revival of the Hebrew language accompanying the return of Jewish people to Eretz Israel, which would linguistically link many diverse segments of Jewish society.[10]

Arlosoroff first visited Mandatory Palestine in the spring of 1921. Shortly after his arrival, the Jaffa Riots broke out. In the midst of Arab rioting, Arlosoroff stood in defence of Neve Shalom, a Jewish settlement adjacent to Tel Aviv and Jaffa.[11] These events shifted Arlosoroff's focus to the need for better relations between Jews and Arabs.[5] Following the riots, Arlosoroff called upon the Zionist establishment to no longer deny the reality of an Arab national movement existing in Mandatory Palestine.[12][13] However, Arlosoroff's plea was not widely accepted, and he received criticism from within the ranks of his own party, Hapoel Hatzair.[12] Arlosoroff would ultimately come to the position that strength-based compromise with neighboring Arabs would not weaken or undermine efforts to establish a Jewish national homeland.[14]

In the 1923 Zionist Congress, Arlosoroff was elected to the Zionist Action Committee. He was only 24 years old at the time.[5] Turning down a university position, he left Germany for British Mandatory Palestine in 1924. In 1926 he was chosen to represent the Yishuv at the League of Nations in Geneva.[5]

Arlosoroff's hope for peaceful cooperation and compromise with Arabs would be severely tested. In 1929, the consciously aggressive Betar Youth Movement, organized under Ze'ev Jabotinsky's Union of Revisionist Zionists, took part in a coalition to assertively enforce and enlarge a Jewish presence in the proximity of the Western Wall.[15] The activities of Betar and their associates provoked an explosive reaction from the Arab community, in whose perception these activities had dishonored the Muslim holy site on the adjacent Temple Mount. The violent Western Wall Uprisings of 1929 ensued, which resulted in the loss of many lives, including civilians.[15] Instead of inciting further Arab tensions, Arlosoroff strongly criticized the Revisionists for insensitively provoking the animosity.[15]

Political career

[edit]

In 1930, Arlosoroff helped unify the two major Zionist socialist political parties, the Poale Zion and the Hapoel Hatzair, to form the Mapai Labour Party.[16] Through Mapai's political muscle, Arlosoroff was elected as a member of the Zionist Executive at the 1931 Zionist Congress. In addition, he was named Political Director of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, a position he held until his 1933 assassination.[16]

As the Jewish Agency's Political Director, Arlosoroff first believed that the British would support increased Jewish settlement in Mandatory Palestine, so he worked with the British Mandatory Administration governing that territory. Prior to his tenure as Political Director, Arlosoroff had already familiarized himself with the British system of rule, having written an essay titled "The British Administration and the Jewish National Home".[17] During his years in office, Arlosoroff developed close working relationships with Britain's High Commissioner Arthur Wauchope[18] and British Colonial Secretary Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister.[19]

Arlosoroff was a close friend of the Jewish scientist and statesman, Chaim Weizmann. Dr. Weizmann was considered to be among the most politically moderate of Arlosoroff's Mapai Zionist contemporaries.[20]

In a private letter to Weizmann dated June 30, 1932, Arlosoroff wrote candidly of his serious concerns for the future success of the Zionist enterprise in Mandatory Palestine.[21] His correspondence, written in a clearly anguished tone, alerted Weizmann to the possibility that the ability to expand Jewish settlements under the ruling British Administration could, in Arlosoroff’s observation, completely collapse in a short time under certain circumstances.[20] Arlosoroff predicted the authority of the British Mandate to govern could quickly come to an end in a few years.[22] In view of this possibility, Arlosoroff’s letter provided a list of several options he saw as available to the Zionist movement for the potential challenges ahead. Among these options, Arlosoroff suggested that a Jewish dictatorship be imposed, upon the removal of the British Administration from authority, in which a Jewish minority would govern over an Arab majority.[23] At no other time in his political career did Arlosoroff ever suggest a proposal this extreme for the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people.[20] There is no record of Weizmann ever providing a response to the opinions expressed in Arlosoroff’s correspondence.[24]

In the months leading up to his assassination, Arlosoroff's fervor to help establish a Jewish national homeland intensified. At a Mapai Labour Party Council meeting occurring in January 1933, Arlosoroff strongly clashed with powerful Mapai leaders David Ben-Gurion and Yitzhak Tabenkin regarding whether or not the Zionists should work within the British government's infrastructure to help bring about Jewish statehood.[25] Arlosoroff warned his colleagues that if the Zionist movement maintained an isolationist policy with the British ruling authorities, Arab political influence would increase within the British Administration and cause the rights of Jewish people living in the Yishuv to suffer.[26]

Other Jewish leaders pictured are Chaim Weizmann (sitting, to Arlosoroff's right), Moshe Shertok (Sharett) (standing, right), Yitzhak Ben-Zvi (standing, to Shertok's right), Maurice Hexter, (standing, to Ben-Zvi's right), and Avraham Elmalih (standing, to Hexter's right). Among the Arab leaders pictured is Sheikh Mithqal Al-Fayez, chief of the Beni Sakhr (sitting, left).

On April 8, 1933, Arlosoroff organized a historic event at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on the Jewish Agency's behalf. The luncheon, attended by Weizmann and prominent Arab leaders of Transjordan,[27] would be the first time Jewish Zionists and key Arab leaders gathered together to help promote cooperative efforts between the two groups.[28] Arlosoroff was hopeful, that in building an accord with the Arab sheikhs of Transjordan, unpopulated Arab land would be made available for purchase in order to establish new Jewish settlements east of the Jordan River.[29] Arlosoroff also hoped that political relations with Arab leaders of Mandatory Palestine might be enhanced through Zionist interactions with the Transjordanian Arab dignitaries.[27] However, not everyone was pleased with Arlosoroff's vision for Jewish/Arab collaboration, nor the possibility of a bi-nationalistic future in the territories governed under British Mandates. After the luncheon, Arab radicals openly chastised the moderate Arabs who had attended the meeting.[30] Certain Arab leaders in Mandatory Palestine distanced themselves completely from the Transjordanian Arab delegation.[31] Particular anger was directed at Transjordan's Emir Abdullah, the ruler over large territories in Transjordan, who had taken a leading role in the conciliation efforts.[30] Jewish opposition to the King David Hotel meeting also became apparent as the major party of religious Zionism, Mizrachi, demanded that Arlosoroff should resign from his position at the Jewish Agency.[32][33] Some radicals in the Revisionist movement went even further and questioned Arlosoroff's right to be alive.[32]

As a result of Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany, Arlosoroff directed his focus to the plight of German Jews. In March 1933 Jewish groups responded worldwide to Hitler becoming chancellor through protests and boycotts of German products.[34]The Germany Arlosoroff loved growing up changed quickly and drastically upon Hitler coming to power. In April 1933, the new regime implemented the first of many anti-Jewish laws by terminating all Jewish employees from German government positions.[35] Also at that time, Nazi officials decreed Jewish people would not be permitted to leave the country without a specially issued exit visa.[36] Immediately following an organized Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses in Germany on April 1, 1933, Arlosoroff contacted High Commissioner Arthur Wauchope requesting Britain's intervention in the crisis. Arlosoroff asked Wauchope to consider that supplementary immigration visas for Mandatory Palestine be granted to Jewish people seeking refuge from Hitler's Reich.[37]

Though Hitler hated Jewish people and wanted them expelled from Germany, in April 1933 the Nazis were not willing to let a large number of Jewish refugees flee to the surrounding nations. According to historian Edwin Black, this was because Reich officials were concerned that fleeing Jewish refugees would lend large numbers to a growing international movement for the economic boycott of Nazi Germany.[35] Hitler's government perceived that organized efforts by Jews to boycott German products on an international basis constituted a potential threat to the newly established Reich.[38] Of additional economic concern to Germany, historian Black relates that German financial advisers warned the Nazi government that a mass exodus of Jewish laborers from Germany's workforce would badly damage the Reich's economic stability.[35] The Nazis thus were motivated to find a convenient solution to rid themselves of Jewish people without a political or economic backlash.[19]

As German Jewish citizens had been prohibited from fleeing the country by the Nazi regime, Arlosoroff advocated to the central committee of Mapai that a financial trade agreement be negotiated between the Jewish Agency and German Reich officials to help facilitate their rescue. The agreement Arlosoroff proposed would not only enable Jewish refugees to emigrate legally from Germany to Mandatory Palestine, but also would permit them to salvage a portion of their property assets in the process. Arlosoroff contended, that in the absence of such an agreement, Jews attempting to flee Nazi persecution would be compelled to seek out illegal methods to remove their assets from Germany, thus potentially putting all their financial resources at risk.[39]

In 1933, Arlosoroff and German Reich officials viewed Mandatory Palestine as a land of opportunity for very different reasons. In the eyes of the Nazi leadership, the remote British-controlled territory appeared to be a "dumping-ground" suitable to isolate thousands of anti-Hitler Jewish refugees from the world's political arena.[19] In addition, a financial agreement with Zionist leaders for the transfer of the refugees would help bolster a German economy adversely affected by anti-Nazi boycotts.[40] [41] For Arlosoroff and other Zionists, however, the potential mass transfer of Germany's Jews along with their assets to Mandatory Palestine presented a historic opportunity to help guarantee the future establishment of a Jewish nation in the ancient ancestral homeland of the Jewish people.[19]

Arlosoroff came to feel that the British could not be trusted and that the Jews must risk angering them in order to further the goal of building a Jewish state and save the Jews of Europe from the nationalist and authoritarian regimes under which they lived, especially in Nazi Germany.

In his efforts to help Jews escape the tyranny of Hitler, Arlosoroff faced staunch opposition from the Revisionist ranks within his own Zionist movement. Though Mapai Labour leaders attempted to prepare the way for an agreement with Germany by mitigating anti-Nazi sentiment within Zionist circles, prominent Revisionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky steadfastly opposed them. In a radio broadcast on April 28, 1933, Jabotinsky strongly condemned any possible pact between Zionism and Hitler.[42] Jabotinsky upheld in his radio address the Revisionist platform for an international economic boycott on German exports, suggesting in addition that Mandatory Palestine should assume the lead in the boycott efforts.[43]

Ha'avara Agreement

[edit]

As organized efforts to boycott German export products continued to grow internationally, Nazi government authorities perceived the boycott movement to be a serious threat to Germany’s economy.[44] Reich officials hoped to curtail the harmful impact of the anti-Nazi boycotts and invigorate the German financial system[45] by establishing an agreement with Jewish Agency representatives.

Haim Arlosoroff visited Nazi Germany on the Jewish Agency's behalf to begin negotiations on the controversial Ha'avara Agreement. The finalized agreement, which would be put into effect through the efforts of Arlosoroff's successors after his death, allowed for the emigration of Jewish people from Germany to Mandatory Palestine along with limited assets.[46] The Nazi regime was agreeable to allow Jews to emigrate, but they were unwilling to allow them to take their property with them. Via the agreement, Jewish people were required to put their money into a special bank account. This money was then used to purchase German goods for export to Mandatory Palestine (and other countries). The proceeds of the sale of these goods were given to the Jews on their arrival in Mandatory Palestine.[47][48] For the Nazis, this helped them get rid of Jews but overcame any attempts at a boycott of German exports (especially from a moral point of view since it was the Jewish people themselves importing the goods). For the Zionist settlement, the influx of capital gave a much-needed economic boom in the midst of a worldwide depression.

Approximately a year after Arlosoroff's successors and German Reich officials formalized the Ha'avara Agreement, a substantial economic reaction began to take place in Mandatory Palestine. As a result, many Jewish people immigrated.[49] Prior to the Ha'avara Agreement, only several thousand Jewish workers had been immigrating to Mandatory Palestine on a yearly basis. After the agreement was signed, however, over 50,000 new Jewish workers moved to Mandatory Palestine within two years.[49] The Ha'avara Agreement's initial impact on Jewish immigration would be widespread, as approximately 20% of the first 50,000 new Jewish immigrants in Mandatory Palestine came from Germany.[49] By 1936, just three years after the Ha'avara Agreement became effective, the population of Jewish people within Mandatory Palestine had doubled in size.[50] Jewish immigrants from Germany, upon their arrival in Mandatory Palestine, were able to receive back in cash approximately 42% of their original invested funds during the Ha'avara Agreement's early years of implementation.[51]

The Reich's level of cooperation in the Ha'avara Agreement wavered as circumstances changed. Over a period of time, some of Hitler's elite Nazi entourage, including Adolf Eichmann, began to deeply regret Germany's participation in the Ha'avara endeavors.[50] Observers speculated in 1938 that Nazi authorities no longer viewed the agreement as viable to meet the general needs of the German economy.[52] Despite vigorous Nazi Party efforts to interfere with the Ha'avara Agreement's progress, transfer operations continued until the beginning of World War II in 1939.[53]

Ultimately, an estimated 60,000 German Jews escaped persecution by the Nazis directly or indirectly through the Ha'avara Agreement.[54][55][56] In addition, the Ha'avara Agreement transferred approximately $100 million to the Yishuv within Mandatory Palestine, which helped establish an industrial infrastructure for what would eventually become the modern Jewish State. Ha'avara Agreement funds were also used for the purchase of land and the development of many new Jewish settlements.[54]

Assassination

[edit]

Main article: Assassination of Haim Arlosoroff

On 16 June 1933, just two days after his return from negotiations in Germany, Haim Arlosoroff was murdered.[1] He was killed while walking with his wife, Sima, on a beach in Tel Aviv. Arlosoroff's funeral was the largest in the history of Mandatory Palestine, with an estimated 70,000 to 100,000 mourners.[57] The death of Arlosoroff greatly aggravated political relations within the Zionist movement.[58]

Abba Ahimeir, the head of an activist group with fascist tendencies,[59] the Brit HaBirionim, was charged by the Palestine Police Force with plotting the assassination. Ahimeir was also a leader of the nationalist Zionist Revisionist faction whose publication, "Hazit HaAm",[60] continuously attacked the Labor movement and Zionist leaders, including Arlosoroff, often using inflammatory language. On the same day that the murder took place, Ahimeir's newspaper published an article highly critical of Arlosoroff's negotiations with Nazi Germany, stating that the Jewish people "will know today how to react to this crime".[61] Two rank-and-file Revisionists, Abraham Stavsky and Ze'evi Rosenblatt, were arrested as the accused assassins and were identified by Arlosoroff's widow. All three men vehemently denied the accusation.

The Criminal Court of Assizes in Mandatory Palestine acquitted Ahimeir and Rosenblatt but convicted Stavsky, sentencing him to death. Upon Stavsky's appeal to the Palestine Court of Appeal, however, the murder conviction was overturned due to a lack of corroborating evidence, as the law then required.[57][62] Stavsky's defense accused the police of manipulating the widow's testimony and other evidence for political reasons, and expounded the theory that the murder was connected to an intended sexual attack on Sima Arlosoroff by two young Palestinians.[63] Stavsky later rose within Irgun ranks and was responsible for the procurement of the Irgun arms vessel known as the "Altalena." He was killed in the attack on the ship by the newly established Israel Defense Forces on the Beach of Tel Aviv.

In addition to the aforementioned theories, some have believed that Arlosoroff's murder was connected to the Soviet and Nazi regimes. The theory of Soviet involvement was promoted by Shmuel Dothan in 1991. Dothan maintained that the Russians took action against Arlosoroff to prevent what the Soviets perceived to be a global military plot against them.[64]

Some 50 years after the murder, following the publication of a book on the assassination by Shabtai Teveth in 1982,[65] the Israeli government, under the leadership of Menachem Begin as the Prime Minister, established a formal Judicial Commission of Enquiry to reinvestigate Arlosoroff's death. As the first Israeli Prime Minister elected from the Revisionist movement, Begin initiated the investigation after having taken offence at a suggestion in Teveth's book that a Revisionist acquitted in court for Arlosoroff's murder may have actually been responsible after all.[66] Despite a thorough review of all the available evidence, the Commission's Report released in 1985 stated that the identities of the murderers could not be conclusively determined.[66] The Commission in its findings did, however, fully exonerate Ahimeir, Rosenblatt, and Stavsky from all suspicion in Arlosoroff's death.[67]

Legacy and commemoration

[edit]

Arlosoroff is buried at the Trumpeldor Cemetery in Tel Aviv. Arlosoroff's memory is honored today by the many streets named after him throughout the towns of Israel and in the names of several places in Israel:[68]Kiryat Haim, a large neighborhood of Haifa, Giv'at Haim, a kibutz and Kfar Haim, a moshav.

An 8-foot tall bronze monument dedicated to the legacy of Dr. Haim Arlosoroff stands at the Tel Aviv shoreline promenade where he was fatally wounded.[69]

The "Arlosoroff House", a location Arlosoroff visited on the morning of the day he was assassinated, stands in honor of his memory at Ben Shemen Youth Village, directly adjacent to the Ben Shemen Moshav in Central Israel.

The name of Haim Arlosoroff was also used for a ship carrying Jewish refugees to Mandatory Palestine, the former USCGC Unalga (WPG-53). On 27 February 1947, the Haim Arlosoroff (1,378 passengers from Sweden and Italy) was intercepted by British Royal Navy destroyer HMS Chieftain, and the passengers put up fierce resistance. The ship ran aground at Bat Galim south of Haifa, just opposite a British Army camp. The crew and passengers were arrested and deported to Cyprus.[70][71]
