Rudolf Kastner: Journalist, lawyer, and zionist leader in Romania and Hungary (b. Kolozsvar, Hungary, 1906; d. Tel Aviv, 1957).
Most Jewish people have never heard of Rudolf Kastner. One may wonder why, when the accusations are so serious. The reason is simple. He was a fanatical zionist and vividly illustrates the cold-blooded murdering approach the early zionists adopted in their pursuit of the establishment of the state of Israel. |
When warned of Eichmann's plan (by Auschwitz escapee Dr. Rudolf Verba , prisoner number 44070) to send a million Hungarian Jews to the gas chambers, Kastner went to Eichmann and told him, "I know of your plans, spare some Jews of my choice and I shall keep quiet."
To Eichmann: allowing a few thousand (1,680) Jews to survive, as the price paid for the silent collaboration over the death of almost a million Jews, was a bargain. Eichmann agreed to Kastner's suggestion and upheld his end of the bargain. It must be recalled that there was no way in which the Jews of Hungary could even be located without the full collaboration of Kastner and his few friends. The Hungarian Jews were an integrated part of the community, their names were Hungarian,they served in the Hungarian (fascist) army in frontline units, as officers and soldiers. How was Eichmann to even find them without the help of the zionists.
And what did Eichmann have to say about all this;
I resolved to show how well a job could be done when the commander stands 100% behind it. By shipping the Jews off in a lightning operation, I wanted to set an example for future campaigns elsewhere. In obedience to Himmler's directive I now concentrated on negotiations with the Jewish political officials in Budapest. Among them Dr. Rudolph Kastner, authorized representative of the zionist movement. This Dr. Kastner was a young man about my age, an ice-cold lawyer and a fanatical zionist. He agreed to help keep the Jews from resisting deportation - and even keep order in the collection camps - if I could close my eyes and let a few hundred or a few thousand young Jews emigrate illegally to Palestine. It was a good bargain. For keeping order in the camps, the price, was not too high for me.
From the 'Eichmann Confessions' published in Life magazine, 28 November and 5 December 1960:
What the Supreme Court of Israel had to say;
The Supreme Court also accepted the facts established in the lower court - that Kastner deliberately concealed the truth about Auschwitz from the majority of Hungarian Jews in exchange for Nazi permission to take a thousand or so to Palestine.
But now comes the really nasty bit. After unanimously acknowledging these facts, the Supreme Court of Israel, by a majority of three to two, found that Kastner's actions were morally justifiable.
