Haim Arlozoroff (1899-1933) was a Zionist leader in Palestine during the era of the British Mandate for Palestine and head of the political department of the Jewish Agency. Arlosoroff was assassinated while walking on the beach in Tel Aviv in 1933. Haim Arlozoroff was born in Romny, Ukraine on February 23, 1899. Anti-Semitism forced his family to leave his birthplace and to settle in Berlin, Germany following a pogrom in 1905. Arlozoroff became a leader of Mapai, the most important Jewish political party of the time, and was a close friend of the Jewish scientist and statesman, Haim Weizmann. His talents were recognized early, and Arlozoroff was soon appointed head of the political department of the Jewish Agency. Haim Arlozoroff visited Nazi Germany to negotiate the controversial Ha'avara Agreement with the Nazi government, an agreement which allowed for the emigration of Jews to Palestine along with most of their property On 16 June 1933, just two days after his return from negotiations in Germany, Haim Arlozoroff was murdered. He was killed while walking with his wife Sima on a beach in Tel Aviv. The cache is close to the memorial.
