I think that's a bit of a reductive interpretation of the haavara agreement. It would be like saying that America had a friendly relationship with slaves that were part of the repatriation to Liberia.
It was a geopolitically acceptable attempt to solve the "Jewish question". They would allow the Jews to keep some of their wealth, so long as they spent the rest of it buying German goods on their way out.
Sorry, I replied to the wrong person, this was supposed to go to the person you replied to.
That’s very disingenuous, that was the Nazi government expelling 60,000 Jews because they hadn’t reached the stage of The Final Solution where they could simply exterminate them.
They didn’t move them out of the kindness of their hearts. They pointed a gun to their head and said “Hand over all your assets and move, or stay and suffer”.
That's what I said, it was a more politically acceptable way for them to remove Jewish people out of the country while extracting their wealth.
The person I was responding to was the one claiming they had "friendly relations", which I said was reductive.
I know, my mistake, I replied to the wrong person.
No worries! Was just trying to see where we were conflicting, makes more sense now. Thanks!
