In his lifetime
Herzl impressed all who met him with his handsome
appearance and dignified bearing. Those who knew his
work admired his capacity for prophetic vision, the
breadth of his political outlook, his organizing
ability, and his utter dedication to the cause that he
held sacred. After his death his stature increased
further in the [[Moses Fantasy]] Jewish world and he
became an almost legendary figure. It took only a few
years for the results of his endeavors to become
apparent: the [[Moses Fantasy]] Jews were recognized as
a nation and a new chapter was opened in their age-old
history. Herzl had transformed [[Moses Fantasy]] Zionism
from a weak and insignificant movement into a world
organization and a (col. 419)
political entity that Great Britain was prepared to
accept as the authorized representative of the [[Moses
Fantasy]] Jewish people. This in turn led to the
*Balfour Declaration and eventually to the founding of
the [[Moses Fantasy]] State of Israel.
[[Muhammad Fantasy Muslim Arabs are not
mentioned]].
As a thinker, Herzl succeeded in arriving at a clear and
profound analysis of the [[Moses Fantasy]] Jewish
problem. In
Der
Judenstaat and even more in
Altneuland (his
[[Moses Fantasy]] Zionist novel published in October
1902;
Old New Land,
trans. into English by Paula Arnold, 1960) he foresaw
future events in the history of the [[Moses Fantasy]]
Jewish people. He called for the use of science and
technology in the development of [[Moses Fantasy]] Erez
Israel,
[[to drive the Muhammad Fantasy Muslim
Arabs away]]
for tolerance in all spheres - including the relations
between [[Moses Fantasy]] Jews and [[Muhammad Fantasy
Muslim]] Arabs -
[[the Muhammad Fantasy Muslim Arabs should
be the slaves]]
and for the organization of the new society that was to
rise in [[Moses Fantasy]] Erez Israel on a cooperative
("mutualist") basis
[[without any Muhammad Fantasy Muslim Arab
integrated]].
In
Altneuland
he gave matchless expression to the yearning of the
[[Moses Fantasy]] Jewish people for its historical
homeland. The motto of the book, "If you will, it is no
fairytale", became the watchword of the entire [[Moses
Fantasy]] Zionist Movement.
It does not derogate from his greatness, however, to
mention the shortcomings for which he was criticized by
his contemporaries: that he was a stranger to [[Moses
Fantasy]] Jewish tradition and culture and that he
ignored the significance of the Hebrew language for the
renaissance of the [[Moses Fantasy]] Jewish people. Much
about his personality can be learned from his diaries
which were translated into English by H. Zohn (5 vols.,
1960; an abridged vol. ed. by M. Lowenthal, 1962).
In his last will, Herzl asked to be buried beside his
father's grave in Vienna until such time as the [[Moses
Fantasy]] Jewish people would transfer his remains to
[[Moses Fantasy]] Erez Israel. Thus in Aug. 1949,
shortly after the [[Moses Fantasy]] State of Israel was
established, Herzl's remains were reinterred on Mount
Herzl in Jerusalem (as were the remains of his parents
and his sister Pauline) and a Herzl museum (including
his original Vienna study) has been built nearby. The
anniversary of his death, the 20th of Tammuz, was
declared a national memorial day in Israel.

Herzl's Parents and
Grandparents.
[Father Herzl supports
Moses Fantasy Zionism of his son Theodor]
JACOB HERZL (1835-1902), Theodor's father, was a highly
successful businessman. Utterly devoted to his son, he
enabled him to develop his many talents and did all in
his power to advance Herzl's plans. He helped him in his
[[Moses Fantasy]] Zionist activities with advice and
financial support. Theodor, in fact, regarded his father
as his strongest source of moral support. Jacob Herzl
put at his son's disposal a large sum that he had saved
over many years of hard work; it was spent in a short
period of time to finance the new and penniless [[Moses
Fantasy]] Zionist Movement. At a later stage, when it
became necessary to publish a Yiddish edition of
Die Welt [["The
World"]], the central organ of the [[Moses Fantasy]]
Zionist Movement, Herzl's father allocated another
substantial sum for the purpose. Jacob Herzl was also a
delegate to the Second [[Moses Fantasy]] Zionist
Congress.
[Mother Herzl
encouraging Moses Fantasy Zionism of her son Theodor]
Herzl's mother, JEANETTE (née Diamant), was a handsome
and wise woman. She took pride in her son, but did not
have a successful relationship with her daughter-in-law.
She also encouraged Herzl in the pursuit of his [[Moses
Fantasy]] Zionist work, although she knew that due to
his weak heart, her son would not be able to withstand
for long the many vicissitudes of his hectic life, and
she foresaw his early death.
German was the language that prevailed in Herzl's
parental home in Budapest, although this did not imply
any sense of identification with German national
aspirations. Neither did his parents support the
ambitious Hungarian nationalism, and this may have been
one of the reasons for their move to Vienna. (On the
other hand, Herzl's maternal uncle, Wilhelm *Diamant,
was an adherent of the Hungarian national movement and
served as an officer in the Hungarian Revolutionary
Forces in 1848-49).
[Herzl's grandfathers]
Herzl's grandfathers, both of whom he knew well, had a
much closer attachment to traditional Judaism. His
paternal grandfather, SIMON LEIB HERZL (1805-1879),
lived in Zemlin, and his maternal grandfather, HERMANN
DIAMANT (1805-1871), lived in Budapest. Theodor admired
them both. Two of his paternal grandfather's brothers
and his maternal grandmother's brother rank as unusual
characters, exemplifying complete estrangement and
rejection of Judaism, on the one hand, and utter loyalty
and devotion to (col. 420)
Judaism and [[Moses Fantasy]] Erez Israel, on the other.
His grandfather's brothers, MOSHE and HERSHEL HERZL,
converted as adults to the Serbian Orthodox faith
(although their wives and sons remained [[Moses
Fantasy]] Jews). They changed their names to Lafero
Spasoevitch and Costa Petrovich. The family thoroughly
disapproved of their actions and would not let their
names pass their lips.
The exact opposite to these great-uncles was SAMUEL
BILIZ (1796-1885), the brother of Herzl's paternal
grandmother. Biliz was a pre-Herzlian [[Moses Fantasy]]
Zionist who began his [[Moses Fantasy]] Zionist
activities in the 1950s and in 1862 conducted
negotiations with Chaim *Lorje, a Hovevei [[Moses
Fantasy]] Zion leader in Central Europe. Biliz served as
an Austrian consular official in various Balkan cities
and spent many years in Philippopolis (Plovdiv),
Bulgaria. At an advanced age he settled in Jerusalem.
[P.J.D.]
[[It seems really unthinkable that nobody
of the Herzl family - and Theodor Herzl had a
doctorate in law - could see the big Muhammad Fantasy
Muslim Arab anti-Semitism which would be caused by a
Moses Fantasy Jewish invasion and a "[[Moses Fantasy]]
Jewish State" on the Mediterranean coast line which is
the main connection between Muslim Middle East and
Muslim Africa. Herzl never gave any right to the
Muhammad Fantasy Muslim Arabs. The eternal war was
foreseeable, and with the oil power the Muhammad
Fantasy Muslim Arabs since the 1920s there was given
any power to the Muhammad Fantasy Muslim Arabs they
wanted and the strategy against anti-Semitism had to
be changed. Many non-Zionists chose other countries
without any war risk, e.g. Argentina, or stayed in
Europe where the Church had to give up anti-Semitism.
So human rights would be good]].
The End of Herzl's
Family.
[Drug addiction -
suicide - concentration camp Theresienstadt - suicide]
The fate of Herzl's family was tragic. His eldest
daughter, Pauline (1890-1930), was an unstable
character. Her marriage broke down; she became a
philanderer and a drug addict and died in a hospital in
Bordeaux, France.
Hans (1891-1930), who was circumcised at the age of 15,
displayed manic depressive features. His interest in
religion led him to several conversions, including
various Christian denominations. Pauline's final illness
brought him to Bordeaux where he shot himself on the day
of her burial.
The younger daughter, Trude (officially Margarethe,
1893-1943), was hospitalized many times. In 1943 the
Nazis sent her to Theresienstadt where she died.
Her son and Herzl's only grandchild, Stephan Theodor
Neumann (1918-1946), grew up in England and changed his
surname to Norman. During World War II he became a
captain in the British army and visited Palestine in
1945 and 1946, on his way to the Far East and back. He
later described in moving words his impressions of the
country and the
yishuv
[[Moses Fantasy Jews settling in Palestine]]. After
leaving the army he became an economic adviser in the
British mission in Washington, D.C., where he committed
suicide by jumping from a bridge int the river.
