  3. Herzl Is Born!!!! • I was born on May 2, 1860 in Budapest Hungary. • My family was Jewish, but not religious. • In school I was a good writer.

  4. Where I’ve been In 1878, we moved to Vienna and I grew up there. I went to a Jewish grade school, local high school, and studied law at the University of Vienna. At the university, I experienced anti-Semitism for the first time. Later, I worked in Germany. While in Germany, I wrote stories and plays, got married, and had 3 children I was not happy with law. I moved to Paris France and became a journalist. I wrote articles in newspapers.

  5. When I started helping Israel • In 1894, I was waiting outside a military court room in Paris, France. The crowd was there to find out whether Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer, was going to be found guilty of spying for Germany. • I heard a man shout ‘’Death to the Jews’’ and I realized that the Jews needed a homeland of their own. Immediately I set to work. I gave speeches, wrote articles in newspapers, and I wrote books. All hoping to get the word out about Zion (another name for Israel.) I had a dream! • Thousands of Jewish people saw what I did and wanted to help me. They called themselves Zionists.

  6. Zionist Congress • I created the first Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland. In 1897, delegates from all over the world attended. • I became the first President. • I used my good writing skills to convince wealthy Jews to support my idea of a Jewish land with good agriculture, technology and science. • I worked very hard for a Jewish state. • I didn’t get to see it, but my dream became a reality in 1948.

  7. My family • I had a wife named Julia. • I had three children. • My eldest girl was named Pauline. • My middle son was named Hans • And my littlest girl, Trude.

  8. Comparison Theodor Herzl Martin Luther King Jr. I am often compared to Martin Luther King Jr. because we both had a dream for a better world for our people.

  9. MY QUOTES • “An idea is like a seed waiting to take root and break out of the darkness into the sunlight.’’ • “ If you will it, it is not a dream.’’

  10. My last day with the sun was a cherished one • I died in 1904 at the young age of 44. • In 1949 a great ceremony occurred. My remains were brought from Vienna to Israel. • I was buried on Mt. Herzl in Jerusalem.

  11. My Grave

  12. Conclusion • Sadly, I didn’t live to see Israel, but I'm guessing it turned out to be a beautiful place. • I hope you learned a lot about my life.
