Document 262789
THEODOR HERZL. TLS: "Herzl" as Chairman, 1p, 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.
