Theodor Herzl Biographie - by Alex Bein - Published by FIBA, Vienna, accompanied by 63 photographs. "People's Edition" - Jerusalem, 1935. German.
The most comprehensive biography of Theodor Herzl's life which was made from printed and unprinted materials, the original version of Herzl's diaries, original documents from the Herzl Archive in Vienna, documents related to Theodor Herzl from the Foreign Office in Berlin, the Rathenau Archive in Berlin, and more. The author also brings for the first time things about Herzl's time as a journalist in Paris through rare issues of the "Neue Freie Presse" in which Herzl wrote, which he received from the editor Dr. Benedict. The author's aliyah to Eretz Israel during the writing of the book enabled him to complete the work with the assistance of the Wolffsohn Archive in the National Library, and in the Herzl Room in the JNF building in Jerusalem, and he also obtained materials that were found in those days in private hands in Eretz Israel. The book provides for the first time extensive new information regarding Herzl's pre-Zionist period. "I never wrote more than I knew from the sources" the author testifies about himself. This edition was published in Jerusalem as a "People's Edition", after the subscription editions published in Vienna were sold out.
