Theodor Herzl’s inaugural diary encapsulates his early reflections on the Jewish question and the unwavering growth of his commitment to establishing a Jewish state. He documents his exchanges and meetings with Baron Hirsch, offering glimpses into his thoughts destined for the Rothschild family council. Additionally, the diary contains the pivotal “Address to the Rothschilds”, the embodiment of Herzl’s burgeoning vision for an actualized Jewish homeland. Notably, the initial 45 pages bear Theodor Herzl’s original handwriting, while Jacob Herzl (Herzl’s father) transcribed the subsequent pages.
