Theodor Herzl Signed Handwriting Letter Vienna 1897 Jewish Autograph Judaica Jew

Theodor Herzl Thanks HisCorrespondent

For Asking Him To Serve As A Prize Judge

HerzlTheodor 1860 - 1904 Having learned just three days earlier that

the Jewishcommunity in Munich did not want his first international

Jewish congress to beheld in Munich as he had just announced in his new

weeklyZionist newspaper,\"Die Welt,\" Theodor Herzl thanks his correspondent

for asking him toserve as a prize judge, hoping that it will not take too muchtime

because heis \"very busy\" - three days later he relocated the First JewishCongress

to Basel,Switzerland.

The anti-Semitism he witnessed in Paris inspired him to write aplay, \"The New Ghetto,\"

in October 1894. The main character is aJewish lawyer who urges Jews to free themselves

fromtheir spiritual ghettos.On October 15, 1894, Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer

in the Frenchmilitary, was accused of treason. His court martial trial began in Parison

December 19, 1894. Only journalists who had received special permits andwitnesses in

the case were admitted to the court. As a representative of\"Neue Freie Presse,\" Herzl

attendedthe trial. On December 22, 1894,Dreyfus was found guilty of having soldplans

of fortifications and othergovernment secrets. Herzl heard the court\'s presiding officer rule,

\"TheCourt condemns Captain Alfred Dreyfus to deportation and internment for life ina

fortified place and to deprivation of his military rank.\" The Frenchnewspaper \"La Libre Parole\"

portrayed the incident as furtherevidence of Jewish treachery. The verdict strengthened Herzl\'s

conviction thatthere was only one way stop the Jewish population from being subjected toanti-Semitism.

He began writing \"The Jewish State - A Modern Attempt toSolve the Jewish Question.\"

It was published on February 14, 1896. Thebook became the foundation of the Zionist movement.

It outlined the economic,social, and governmental structures of a proposed Jewish state,

and mentionedPalestine or Argentina as its location and that the spoken language would beGerman.

Before its translation into Hebrew later that year, Herzl removed Argentinaas an optionand said

Hebrew, not German, would be the dominant language.Herzl\'s next step was to found his own newspaper

and to organize a meeting ofJews from all over the world to hear his plans. On Friday, June 4, 1897,

justten days before he wrote this letter, Herzl published in Vienna the first issueof his new weekly

periodical, \"Die Welt\" (\"The World\"). In\"Die Welt\" he publicized the convening of a Zionist Congress

to beheld in Munich. On June 11th, Munich\'s Jewish community protested holding themeeting in their city.

Three days later, Herzl wrote this letter advising therecipient that he is \"very busy.\" On June 17th,

he announced thecongress would be held in Basel, Switzerland, publicizing the change in thethird issue

of \"Die Welt.\" The First Zionist Congress was held inBasel, August 29-31, 1897.

The entrance to the congress hall was decorated witha blue and white flag bearing the Star of David.

Over 200 different groups from16 countries arrived in Basel. Chaired by Herzl, the Congress adopted

theprogramof the Zionist movement (the Basel Program) and declared, \"Zionismseeks toestablish

a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured underpublic law.\" In his diary, Herzl wrote,

\"In Basle I founded theJewish state...Maybe in five years, certainly in fifty, everyone will realizeit.\"

The Jewish state, Israel, was founded on May 14, 1948, 50 years 8months 15 days

after Herzl convened the First Zionist Congress in Basel.
