One-of-a-kind poster about the visionary of the Israeli state – Benjamin Ze’ev Herzl.  Extremely rare poster inviting people for the screening of “Theodor Herzl, Flagbearer of the Jewish Nation”.

Benjamin Ze’ev (Theodor) Herzl—the visionary father of the Jewish State and founder of the World Zionist Organization (1860–1904). In 1921, just 17 years after Herzl’s untimely passing, the groundbreaking Yiddish documentary film ‘Theodor Herzl, Flagbearer of the Jewish Nation’ was released.

First screened in Riga Capital of Latvia in 1921 the movie was extremely influential inside and outside the Jewish communities. The film highlights Herzl’s incredible efforts and contributions to Jewish history. Its screenings were monumental occasions for Jewish communities, inspiring generations of Zionist leaders and believers in the Jewish state. The movie portrays Herzl’s life, struggles, and successes—from his youth marked by anti-Semitic persecution to his emergence as the architect of modern Zionism and, ultimately, the father of Israel.

In the poster (Yiddish):

“The monumental film about Dr. Theodor Herzl
Herzl’s childhood, his student years, the birth of the first Zionist Congress, Herzl’s fights for his ideas, his leadership, and his death.”
