THEODOR HERZL
Signed, typed letter in German (1901)
TLS: "Herzl" as Chairman, 1 page, 8x8. Vienna, 1901 February
21. Countersigned by the Secretary. In German, not translated. To Mr.
Gesinnungsgenosse regarding financial matters discussed at a Zionist meeting
held in London. In 1896, Theodor Herzl wrote Der Judenstaat (The
Jewish State) advocating the founding of a Jewish State in Palestine. He
organized the Zionist World Congress in Basel, Switzerland in 1897 and was
President of the Zionist Organization from 1897 to his death in 1904. In
Europe, Herzl kept in contact with many leaders. In 1901, England offered the
Jewish people land in British East Africa. This divided many Zionists who
wanted a home in Palestine. Extreme worry over the dispute injured Herzl's
health and hastened his death in 1904 at the age of 44. Slight nick at left
edge. Folds do not touch signature. Overall, fine condition.
