<<FIRST EDITION OF HERZL’S HERALD OF MODERN ZIONISM.>> Theodor Herzl founded political Zionism in this slim tract, an epochal call for the establishment of a Jewish State as a National Home for the Jewish People. “Herzl’s Der Judenstaat has remained the single most important manifesto of modern Zionism and is one of the most important books in the history of the Jewish People.” M. Heymann, Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana - Treasures of Jewish Booklore (1994) pp. 102-3.
