"There's no question Adolf Hitler led Nazi Germany when it implemented the "final solution" in an effort to kill all Jews.

But, in a speech this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested it wasn't Hitler's idea.

Rather, he pointed to Jerusalem's then-grand mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who met with the Nazi leader in Germany in the early 1940s."

While this is a bit past the time period I'm most knowledgeable about, I have never seen any evidence to support Netanyahu's claim. While it is possible such a conversation occurred, even if it did (and that's a big "if") it seems unlikely that Hitler would have changed his supposed "exile" plans to "extermination" simply because some Arab leader thought it was a good idea. Of course, there's also no evidence that Hitler ever only wanted to force the Jews out of Germany and Greater Germany (i.e. the areas Hitler wanted to conquer and incorporate into Germany) and quite a bit of evidence that killing them -- probably originally by working them to death as slave labor -- was always the plan.

And now even Netanyahu has decided his claim wasn't all that accurate.
