Historical Hero: Theodor Herzl AS A REPORTER FOR A LEADING NEWSPAPER, HERZL WAS DEEPLY SHAKEN BY THE ANTI-SEMITISM HE SAW WHILE COVERING THE DREYFUS TRIAL (A LEGAL CASE AGAINST A FRENCH ARMY OFFICER WHO WAS CONVICTED OF TREASON ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS JEWISH).
HERZL WROTE A BOOK, JEWISH STATE. MANY PEOPLE READ IT AND AGREED WITH HERZL ABOUT THE NEED FOR A JEWISH HOMELAND.
HE CALLED FOR A ZIONIST CONGRESS. THE FIRST MEETING WAS IN BASEL, SWITZERLAND, ON AUGUST 27, 1897.
THE BEST SOLUTION TO ANTI-SEMITISM WOULD BE TO HAVE A JEWISH STATE OF OUR OWN. WE MUST LIVE ONCE AGAIN AS FREE PEOPLE ON OUR OWN SOIL.
HERZL DIED IN 1904 AT THE AGE OF 44, BEFORE HE COULD SEE ISRAEL BECOME A STATE. IN 1949 HIS REMAINS WERE FLOWN FROM VIENNA TO MOUNT HERZL IN ISRAEL, WHERE HE WAS LAID TO REST. IF YOU WILL IT, IT IS NOT A DREAM!
