Episode 1: The Untold Story of Herzl's Journey to Zionism

It’s hard for a modern Jew to grasp the depth of marginalization and ostracism that even the most assimilated of Austrian Jews experienced in the 1890s. Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern political Zionism, began his journey as a passionate assimilationist, a deep believer in European modernity and Germanic culture. It was only when these hopes were dashed that he turned, as a drowning man to a life raft, to political Zionism.


Here is the untold story of how Herzl found Zionism. (Spoiler: It wasn’t the Dreyfus Affair.)
