Theodor Herzl (Hebrew: תאודור הֶרְצֵל, Theodor Hertzel; Hungarian: Herzl Tivadar; May 2, 1860 – July 3, 1904), born Benjamin Ze'ev Herzl (Hebrew: בִּנְיָמִין זְאֵב הֶרְצֵל), also known in Hebrew as חוֹזֵה הַמְדִינָה, Chozeh HaMedinah (lit. "Visionary of the State") was an Austro-Hungarian journalist, playwright, political activist, and writer. He was one of the fathers of modern political Zionism. Herzl formed the World Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish migration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state (Israel).
He was born in Pest, the eastern, mostly flat part of Budapest, Kingdom of Hungary (now Hungary), to a secular Jewish family. His father's family were originally from Zimony (today Zemun, Serbia). He was the second child of Jeanette and Jakob Herzl, who were German-speaking, assimilated Jews.
Jakob Herzl (1836–1902), Herzl's father, was a highly successful businessman. Herzl had one sister, Pauline, a year older than he was, who died suddenly on February 7, 1878, of typhus. Theodor lived with his family in a house next to the Dohány Street Synagogue (formerly known as Tabakgasse Synagogue) located in Belváros, the inner city of the historical old town of Pest, in the eastern section of Budapest.
Henry (Hillel) Abramson (born 1963) is the Dean for Academic Affairs and Student Services at Touro College's Miami branch (Touro College South). He is also currently the interim Chair of Judaic Studies there. Effective July 2015, he will serve as the Dean of the Lander College of Arts and Sciences in Flatbush, New York.
Henry Abramson was born and raised in Iroquois Falls, Ontario. He received his doctorate in history from the University of Toronto in 1995, studying under Professor Paul Robert Magocsi, earning the first PhD in Ukrainian-Jewish history awarded since the establishment of the Chair of Ukrainian Studies there. His research was also supervised by Professor Michael Marrus and Professor Zvi Gitelman.
Abramson was named to the Shevchenko Scientific Society in 1999.
He was Assistant and later Associate Professor of History/Jewish Studies at Florida Atlantic University from 1996-2006 and during that time held appointments at a number of institutions including Oxford University, Cornell University, Harvard University, and Hebrew University. While teaching at Hebrew University, he simultaneously attended a class with Rabbi Mendel Weinbach at Ohr Somayach, Jerusalem. As Associate Professor and University Library Scholar of Judaica, he worked with the large collection of Yiddish materials in the Wimberly Library, and in this capacity he founded the Kultur Festival of Yiddish Culture in Boca Raton.
Adolf Hitler (20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party (NSDAP), Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and Führer ("leader") of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. He was effectively dictator of Nazi Germany, and was a central figure of World War II in Europe and the Holocaust.
Hitler was a decorated veteran of World War I. He joined the precursor of the NSDAP, the German Workers' Party, in 1919 and became leader of the NSDAP in 1921. In 1923, he attempted a coup in Munich to seize power. The failed coup resulted in Hitler's imprisonment, during which time he dictated his autobiography and political manifesto Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"). After his release in 1924, Hitler gained popular support by attacking the Treaty of Versailles and promoting Pan-Germanism, anti-Semitism, and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and Nazi propaganda. Hitler frequently denounced international capitalism and communism as being part of a Jewish conspiracy.

Over the span of 8 years, Herzl organized and led a worldwide political movement that within 50 years led to the establishment of the state of Israel. The film follows Herzl as he meets with Kings, Prime Ministers, Ambassadors, a Sultan, a Pope and government ministers from Constantinople to St. Petersburg, from Paris to Berlin, from Vienna to Vilna in his quest to build a Jewish nation.

Der Traum vom Gelobten Land - Theodor Herzl und das moderne Israel http://www.israelmagazin.de/?p=672 Zum 150. Geburtstag von Theodor Herzl folgt diese Spiel-Dokumentation den Spuren des Begründers des politischen Zionismus und Geburtshelfers des Staates Israel und fragt, was aus seinem Traum vom Gelobten Land geworden ist. 1898 kam es vor den Toren Jerusalems zu einem denkwürdigen Treffen zwischen dem deutschen Kaiser Wilhelm II. und Theodor Herzl. Der Kaiser pilgerte und betrieb Geopolitik im Nahen Osten, Herzl hoffte auf seine Unterstützung für das zionistische Projekt eines Nationalstaates für die Juden in Palästina. Ausgehend von diesem Höhepunkt der Bemühungen Theodor Herzls um die Staatsmänner Europas und des Osmanischen Reiches, folgt der Film dem turbulenten Weg des "Sehers des...

La simple évocation de certains noms de personnages de l'histoire juive, aujourd'hui pourtant disparus, provoque encore chez certains d'entre nous des réactions extrêmes, voire carrément hystériques. Je me souviens par exemple d'un cours que je donnais un jour dans la synagogue d'un hôtel à Eilat. On m'y avait invité pour animer le Seder et la fête de pessah'. Je ne sais plus dans quel contexte j'ai mentionné le nom du fondateur du sionisme politique, Théodore Herzl. Aussitôt, l'un des participants se leva, rouge de colère, et se dirigea sans mot dire vers l'Arche Sainte pour la recouvrir d'un Talith. A l'assistance qui, tout comme moi, n'avait pas compris ce qui avait provoqué chez lui cette réaction surprenante, il expliqua, contenant difficilement son émotion: "il est des noms qu'on ...
