Theodor Herzl: From Assimilation to ZionismIndiana University Press, 1993-11-22 - 240 psl. "An original and brilliant thesis, exposing a long misunderstood figure. A great book." -- Bernard Avishai "Excellent... a highly revealing portrait that demolishes Herzl-the-icon." -- Michael Marrus "Other biographers... have illuminated aspects of [Herzl's] life, but none has been able to produce the kind of intellectual biography that we have here. Jacques Kornberg has done an admirable job of plumbing the depths of Herzl's mind to try to come to an understanding of just why he became a Zionist and why he was literally consumed with promoting Zionist goals." -- Cithara "With compassion and critical balance, placing his subject well within his Austrian milieu, Kornberg analyzes Herzl's rhetoric, tergiversations, and profound ambivalence over his politics and identity."Â -- Choice "... a masterful display of the sources... " -- American Historical Review "... stimulating, provocative and agreeably iconoclastic... powerful and compelling." -- German History A novel and provocative explanation of Theodor Herzl's founding of Zionism as a way of resolving his personal crisis over his Jewish identity. |

40 psl. - My only recreation was listening to Wagner's music in the evening, particularly to Tannhiiuser, an opera which I attended as often as it was produced, Only on the evening when there was no opera did I have any doubts as to the truth of my ideas
10 psl. - The emancipated Jew is insecure in his relations with his fellow beings, timid with strangers, even suspicious of the secret feelings of his friends. His best powers are exhausted in the suppression, or at least the difficult concealment, of his own real character. For he fears that this character might be recognized as Jewish, and he never has the satisfaction of showing himself as he is in all his thoughts and sentiments. He becomes an inner cripple.
114 psl. - I have not met a German yet who was well disposed toward the Jews; and however unconditionally all the cautious and politically-minded repudiated real anti-Semitism, even this caution and policy are not directed against the species of this feeling itself but only against its dangerous immoderation, especially against the insipid and shameful expression of this immoderate feeling- about this, one should not deceive oneself.
124 psl. - ... conversion to the faith of the majority. The conversion was to take place in broad daylight, Sundays at noon, in Saint Stephen's Cathedral, with festive processions and amidst the pealing of bells. Not in shame, as individuals have converted up to now, but with proud gestures.
159 psl. - I myself have only succeeded up to the present in making the acquaintance of one genuine antisemite. I'm afraid I am bound to admit . . . that it was a well known Zionist leader.
176 psl. - But we shall have to sink still lower, we shall have to be even more insulted, spat upon, mocked, whipped, plundered, and slain before we are ripe for this idea.
115 psl. - Europe, that is certain; that they are not working and planning for that is equally certain. Meanwhile they want and wish rather, even with some importunity, to be absorbed and assimilated by Europe; they long to be fixed, permitted, respected somewhere at long last, putting an end to the nomads...
90 psl. - The tragedy of the Jew's life is the union in his soul of a sense of superiority and the feeling that he carries a stigma of inferiority.
195 psl. - HerzPs transformation into a Zionist was a lengthy process, abounding in inner conflict and contradiction as he struggled with his ambivalence over both Jewishness and assimilation. I have insisted that this process can even be divided into distinct phases. I have also maintained that Herzl was chiefly reacting against Austrian antisemitism.
