Chaim Arlosoroff

After all the channels were cleared in Palestine for the influx of Jews leaving Germany the Zionist organizations began to see if the Nazis made good on their end of the deal. After a week of correspondence between Palestine and Germany (through Britain) they received confirmation that Jews were now allowed to send the needed money to Britain to pay for passage to Palestine.

Due to tensions between world wide Jewish population and the Nazis (the counter boycotts and protests) the Zionists thought it unwise to announce they had worked out a secret deal with the Nazis to allow middle class Jews to buy their way out of Germany. Instead they gave credit to the British government.

Arlosoroff in an attempt to finalize the movement of German Jews two Palestine goes behind the back of the London lead Zionist movement to approve land deals with the Arab sheikhs. Other secret meetings with Zionists including Weizmann, Cunliffe-Lister, Wauchope, and Rutenberg to discuss the creation of a fund / holding company to buy land in Palestine.

In between secret meetings Arlosoroff would try to update the London Zionists who would get upset that London was not in control and getting to approve all deals and decisions being made by Arlosoroff. Neumann and Senator eventually resigned in protest of Arlosoroff’s secret meetings that they were not apart of.

Some how Arlosoroff learned of the encoded telegram sent by Neumann to London telling them to stop support of Arlosoroff, and in response Arlosoroff sent a second telegram posing as Neumann stating that the first message was sent without his permission and to disregard.

After another fight between Arlosoroff and Senator - Cohen proposes they use his preexisting orange orchard land business as the holding company. German representative Wolff agrees to this arrangement if Cohen agreed to only buy certain products from Germany rather than other cheaper sources.

Due to the boycott against German goods especially in Zionist run Palestine the Nazis cancel the currency exchange deal they had made with Cohen a few months before. This was found out by Cohen and Arlosoroff separately after returning to Germany from Palestine. Jews that had payed the fee were also being turned back at the border.

The deal was revoked by Hans Hartenstein since the Zionist’s had promised that this deal would increase German exports. With Jews in Palestine taking up boycott against Germany this was not the case.

Nazis had also already reduced the amount of the exchange to 2/3rds the required amount to immigrate to Palestine. This was due to the world wide boycotts which the Nazis saw to be part of the Jewish conspiracy which the Zionists could call off at any time.
