A report by Le Monde reveals details of an agreement between the Jewish Agency and the Nazi regime which was signed exactly 90 years ago, in the year 1933, to enable the transfer of 53,000 German Jews to Palestine.

The agreement, known in Hebrew as the Haavara was "a valuable means for the Nazi regime to circumvent the international campaign its antisemitic policies had provoked."

The deal involved transferring both Jews and other assets to the then-British Mandate in Palestine in exchange for Jewish migrants to recover the value of their assets that were placed in an escrow account in Germany.

The value of these assets would then be exchanged with exported German goods, the agreement states. 

As the Zionist movement was the sole self-proclaimed Jewish organization to be authorized by Nazi authorities, the agency was able to operate the transfer of 53,000 Jews to Palestine.

According to the report, the man who oversaw the transfer of German Jews is named Haim Arlosoroff. 

As the political director of the agency, he was responsible for conducting formal negotiations with the Nazis with the aim of transferring as many German Jews as possible to Palestine. 

The report states that the agreement was highly controversial because the very basis of conducting negotiations with the Nazis was immoral. 

 Arlosoroff was later assassinated in 'Tel Aviv' on June 16, 1933, under mysterious circumstances.
