ABSTRACT
Unlike the situation in Russia, where the memories of the war still touch some raw nerves even after sixty-five years, except for the thinning group of veterans who fought the common enemy in the Pacific and Europe and professional historians. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Adolph Hitler came to power in the same year, 1933, Hitler in January and Roosevelt in March. It was as early as April of that same year when, during a conversation with the ambassador of France, FDR quietly and in a matter-of-fact statement called Adolph Hitler "a mad man." The dynamics and the legacy of the conflict that to a certain degree inevitably broke out in Palestine between WWI and WWII have always been objects of diametrically opposed interpretations. The leaders motivated their concern with the cruel Nazi destruction of the European Jewish community and the necessity to provide a national home for the Jewish people.
