NORDAU - HERZL - SIONISME] Max NORDAU (1849-1923). L.A.S. dated August 29, 1898 in Basel 4 pp. in-12. "It will be another hard day today. Herzl has just sent me a messenger to tell me that I have to put on the habit because I have to preside over the morning session, too bad. You're skeptical. I'm skeptical too. And yet I'm convinced that the movement will continue. Without us, against us, differently than we dream. But it will continue. There's such a tragic seriousness in the vast majority of these (people) men! You should see it! The afternoon session, which starts at 4pm, will be very stormy, because of the colonial question. There are passions in these people that would lead to murder at the drop of a hat. Today I had a little chat with Aharon Marcus too. He's probably the most interesting man in Congress. Important letter from Max Nordau describing his participation in the second Zionist Congress of 1898.
