The memoranda ^ Memoranda written in 1930s Imperial Japan proposed settling Jewish refugees escaping Nazi- occupied Europe in Japanese-controlled territory. As interpreted byMarvin Tokayer and Swartz (who used the term "Fugu Plan [ja]", that was used by the Japanese to describe this plan), they proposed that large numbers of Jewish refugees should be encouraged to settle in Manchukuo or Japan- occupied Shanghai,1] thus gaining the benefit of the supposed economic prowess of the Jews and also convincing the United States, and specifically American Jewry, to grant political favor and economic investment into Japan. The idea was partly based on the acceptance of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as being a genuine document by at least part of the Japanese leadership - but rather than arousing hatred of Jews, the intended effect of the Protocols, they actually caused the Japanese to consider the Jews as powerful potential allies for Japan.[2]
