The
Death of Dr. Herzl
A
severe blow was dealt to Zionism and to the entire Jewish people by the
premature death of its great leader, Dr. Theodor Herzl, who died July 3,
1904, scarcely 44 years of age. But it is a testimony to the strength and
stability that the movement had already attained that it was able to
endure even this irreparable loss without a panic. After a passing shock,
and the natural dejection caused by so painful an event, the Zionists
quickly bestirred themselves and continued their labor with undiminished
zeal and with the firm resolution to bring into realization the thoughts
of Herzl, which are his bequest to the Jewish people.
