In the Shadow of the Crescent The Arabs, the Holocaust and Beyond

A compelling and detailed historical study of the Jews, the Arabs and the Holocaust. Unlike Germany, France and other European countries, whose role during the Holocaust has been exhaustively investigated, little attention has been devoted to the attitude of the Arab world towards the Jews during the Second World War. This book attempts to fill that gap by exploring Arab behaviour towards the Jews before and during the Holocaust, and Arab approval of Nazi policy regarding the Jewish question. Arab anti-Semitism acquired a distinct affinity with Nazi ideology at this time.
