Berlin, May 17th, 1943                           

Note for Dr. Koeppen with the request to show it to the Reichsleiter (Alfred Rosenberg) for further action


During the visit of the Grandmufti (of Jerusalem; Mohammed Amin el Hussein; uncle of Arafat) with Reichsleiter Rosenberg he (R.) has promised to give a hint to the press that in future the use of the term "Antisemitism" has to stop. By the use of this word invariably the Arab world will be hit as well. The Arab world according to the Grandmufti is predominantly pro-German.The enemy foreign countries use the point that we work with the word "Antisemitism" and that this way we want to express that we want to lump together the Arabs with the Jews.
