He formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state. In 1896, he published the pamphlet Der Judenstaat, in which he elaborated his visions of a Jewish homeland. His ideas attracted international attention and rapidly established Herzl as a major figure in the Jewish world. He is specifically mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence and is officially referred to as 'the spiritual father of the Jewish State.'" - Wikipedia. xxii, [1]-102 pp. Tissue-protected photo portrait of Herzl.
