Quotation from David Ben Gurion “Hitler … caused damage to the Jewish state, whose coming he did not foresee” — 1954

Weighing, in retrospect, in his own way, the harm caused to the Jews by the genocide of the Jews of Europe.

" Hitler harmed more than the Jewish people, whom he knew and hated: he caused damage to the Jewish state, whose coming he did not foresee. He destroyed the country's main support and central force. The state appeared and did not find a nation that had awaited it. "
