Joel Brand (1907 – 1964) was a Hungarian Jew who played a prominent role, during the Nazi occupation of Hungary, in an attempt to save Jewish lives by making a deal in April 1944 with Adolf Eichmann — who was in charge of the deportation of Jews from Hungary to the German death camp at Auschwitz — to exchange up to one million Hungarian Jews for trucks, soap, tea, coffee, and sugar from the Allies. The deal, which failed, became known as the "blood for trucks" agreement.
