The Madagascar Plan was an idea considered by Nazi Germany in the late 1930s and early 1940s as part of their strategy for the so-called “Jewish Question.” The plan involved the forced relocation of European Jews to the island of Madagascar, a French colony at the time.
By 1941, logistical and strategic challenges made implementing the Madagascar Plan unfeasible. The British naval blockade during World War II prevented Germany from transporting people to distant colonies. The German invasion of the Soviet Union marked a shift in Nazi policy from deportation to genocide, leading to the establishment of extermination camps as part of the “Final Solution.” The Madagascar Plan was abandoned in favor of mass killings within occupied Eastern Europe.
The Nazi regime’s abandonment of the Madagascar Plan marked a turning point—a descent from plans of forced removal to systematic extermination. What began as logistical planning to expel people ended in genocide, showing how quickly “solutions” rooted in hatred can evolve into catastrophic actions when backed by power and infrastructure.
Today, echoes of such brutal policies are appearing closer to home.
