War Period
Amin al-Husayni managed to escape arrest and went into exile. For all practical purposes, the Committee ceased to exist. Al-Husayni spent the war years in occupied Europe, actively collaborating with the Nazi leadership. Membership of the outlaw Committee had dwindled to just Jamal al-Husayni (Amin al-Husayni's brother, as acting chairperson), Husayn al-Khalidi (secretary), Ahmed Hilmi Pasha and Emile al-Ghury. Jamal al-Husayni was interned in Southern Rhodesia during the war.

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or period:
“We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this; but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
