About this audiobook
Read in English, this is a pivotal document in the history of Zionism and the State of Israel. Herzl designed this work to elevate the discussion of "the Jewish Question" so it would "no longer take the form of violent abuse or sentimental vindication but of a debate, practical, large, earnest, and political." While few of Herzl's proposals were actually carried out, the importance of A JEWISH STATE was in the groundswell of support for a Jewish homeland engendered by its solutions to the practical problems of establishing a new state. In the words of a contemporary, "[Herzl] made it seem possible." Benjamin Ze’ev Herzl (1860-1904) was a Hungarian writer, political economist, and Jewish activist. (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis)
Author
Theodor Herzl
Theodor Herzl, geboren 1860 in Budapest, gilt als Begründer des Zionismus als politische Bewegung. Seine Wahrnehmung des Antisemitismus brachte ihn zu der Überzeugung, dass nur ein eigener Staat eine Lösung der sog. Judenfrage herbeiführen könne. Mit seiner Schrift "Der Judenstaat" gab er dem Zionismus den Anstoß, der schließlich zur Gründung des Staates Israel führte.
