Herzl, Theodor (b. 2 May 1860, d. 3 July 1904). Creator of modern Zionism Born in Budapest, he was an assimilated Jew who became a journalist in Vienna, and was the Paris correspondent of the newspaper
Neue Freie Presse, 1891–5. The
Dreyfus case sparked off his interest in
anti-Semitism and how it could be overcome. He published a book,
Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State, 1896), in which he argued that the only effective response to centuries of anti-Jewish discrimination would be the foundation of an independent Jewish state in
Palestine. He devoted the rest of his life to propagating the idea, for which purpose he founded the World Zionist Organization, convened at the first World Zionist Congress in Switzerland in 1897.
