 Madagascar Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Madagascar Plan was a policy of the Third Reich government of Nazi Germany to forcibly relocate the entire Jewish population of Europe to the French island colony of Madagascar, off the coast of Africa.
The evacuation of European Jewry to the island of Madagascar was not a new concept.
Although some discussion of this plan had been brought forward from 1938 by other well-known Nazi ideologues, such as Julius Streicher, Hermann Göring, and Joachim von Ribbentrop, it was not until June 1940 that the plan was actually set in motion.

 Madagascar -- A World Apart: Paradise in Peril
Madagascar is one of the world's poorest nations, with a per capita income of approximately $240 per year.
In the 1980's, the Madagascar government recognized that environmental degradation posed an enormous threat both to its human population and to its biodiversity, recognized by the government as one of the island's greatest treasures.
To conserve biodiversity, the first phase of this plan (1991-1995) emphasized an approach known as "integrated conservation and development." The premise of the integrated conservation and development model is that local people living near parks must themselves benefit from the parks and must be participants in conservation.

The question of labour is fundamental when considering the alleged plan of genocide against the Jews, for on grounds of logic alone the latter would entail the most senseless waste of manpower, time and energy while prosecuting a war of survival on two fronts.
Although the French terminated the Madagascar negotiations in December, 1940, Poliakov, the director of the Centre of Jewish Documentation in Paris, admits that the Germans nevertheless pursued the scheme, and that Eichmann was still busy with it throughout 1941.
Although the plan was fruitless, it well illustrates that no one allegedly carrying out "thorough" extermination would permit the emigration of a million Jews, and it demonstrates, too, the prime importance placed by the Germans on the war-effort.

The proposal by German Foreign Office bureaucrats in 1940 to resettle the Jews in a ghetto within a police-state on Madagascar was not entirely original; Poland had proposed forced resettlement of its Jews there in 1937.
Others view the Madagascar Plan as a blind or way-station; in retrospect it appears both as a smokescreen and a strategic tactic to allow the German bureaucracies concerned to adjust by stages to their roles as white-collar executioners.
She infers that Goering and Himmler were told of Hitler's plans around 1936, a plausible happening considering Hitler's habit of freely verbalizing fantasies for extermination, but a disclosure that is not possible to corroborate.

Thus, if Britain had agreed to make peace with Germany in 1940, the Madagascar Plan would have been implemented, and the Jews of the part of Europe dominated by Germany (ie west of the Soviet border) would have been resettled on the highlands of Madagascar, an area as pleasant as the highlands of Kenya.
Madagascar plan was more then a fantasy and there is enough documentary evidence to prove such a plan was being seriously considered.
