Gentlemen, we sit here, at the beginning of 1917 with the task of considering the continued glory of the British Empire in the post-war era. Whilst we are keen to work on a strategy for Britain in peace time, we are required, nonetheless, to receive an update on the on-going war. I have asked our colleagues at the War Office to prepare a report.” Actor 2: “Thank you Sir. The war is taking much longer than anticipated.

  • Balfour Basics
    BALFOUR DECLARATION THE BASICS For WWI-era British policymakers, the Balfour Declaration was a matter of national interest, balanced by a desire to foster a Jewish national home while ensuring Arab civil and religious rights. For the Jewish people, it represented the beginning of the end of 2,000 years of statelessness. For its enemies, the Balfour Declaration remains the West's never-expiated 'original sin’. 1 Balfour Declaration: The Basics HERE IS where the world stood on Friday morning, November 2, 1917: A World War which had begun in the summer of 1914 was still pitting the Central Powers—including Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (Turkey)— against the Allies led by France, Britain and Russia. Only seven months earlier, on April 6, the United States had abandoned neutrality and entered the fray on the side of the Allies. The first American soldiers were now in France, at the front. The world had been torn asunder. That morning the newspapers reported—incorrectly it transpired— that Austro-German forces had captured 60,000 Italian Allied prisoners. Also reported was heavy artillery fire on the western front at Flanders, near German- occupied Belgium. In Russia, where Tsar Nicholas II had been overthrown in March, the government of the liberal Alexander Kerensky had just done well in local elections.1 But the country's resolve to stay in the war was shattered; within one week, on November 7, the Bolsheviks (or communists), led by Vladimir Lenin, would overthrow Kerensky and Russia would pull out of the war. The war had devastated Britain.

  • A Heart Attack in Sweden
    Chapter 15 A Heart Attack in Sweden For over twenty years, since the Swedish translation of And the Crooked Shall Be Made Straight in 1925, Agnon’s friends in Sweden had been pursuing the No- bel Prize in Literature for him, both secretly and openly; Agnon himself deeply coveted the prize, which he needed to reinforce his narcissistic grandiose self, as well as a symbol of the mother’s love that he had never really received. His Nobel Prize ambitions had received a blow in 1937, when the American sales of his novel declined. In 1947 they received another blow when Salman Schock- en’s lobbying for him in Sweden failed, and when Agnon’s foes at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem foiled his candidacy. In 1948, during the Arab-Israeli war, the forty-eight-year-old Rabbi Dr. Kurt Wilhelm, a former employee of the Schocken Library in Jerusalem, succeeded the seventy-nine-year-old Marcus Ehrenpreis as chief rabbi of Stockholm.1 Like his predecessor, Rabbi Dr. Wil- helm, who had been lobbying for Agnon winning the Nobel Prize two years earlier, began translating some of Agnon’s books into Swedish, with a view to advancing Agnon’s candidacy.2 The violent emotions around the candidacy for the Nobel Prize in Literature, which had burst out in the intrigues at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem of late 1946 and early 1947, were revived in late 1950, when Agnon’s chief rival for the prize, the American Jewish poet Zalman Shne’ur, visited Israel. Shne’ur met Selig Brodetsky,3 the president of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, urging him to have the university propose his candidacy for the Nobel Prize to the Swedish Academy.

  • THIS Volume Spans the Period Between October 1918, When
    THE LETTERS AND PAPERS OF CHAIM WEIZMANN October 1918 – July 1920 Volume IX, Series A Introduction: Jehuda Reinharz General Editor Meyer W. Weisgal, Volume Editor Jehuda Reinharz, Research Editor: Pinhas Ofer, Transaction Books, Rutgers University and Israel Universities Press, Jerusalem, 1977 [Reprinted with express permission from the Weizmann Archives, Rehovot, Israel, by the Center for Israel Education www.israeled.org.] THIS volume spans the period between October 1918, when Chaim Weizmann, the head of the Zionist Commission, had just returned to England from Palestine, and July 1920, the month in which Herbert Samuel began his tenure as High Commissioner for Palestine and in which the Zionist Conference took place in London. These twenty-one months are of crucial importance for the history of Zionism and for the Jews in Palestine (the Yishuv). It is a period in which Weizmann's ascendancy to the leadership of the World Zionist Organization becomes undisputed. With unbounded energy Weizmann emerges as the prime mover and decision-maker concerning all important issues: the relations of the Zionists with the Palestinian Arabs and with Faisal, son of the Shereef of Mecca and Britain's wartime ally; the relations of the Zionists with the British in Palestine and London; the presentation of the Zionist case at the Peace Conference; the plight of Eastern European Jewry; cooperation among Zionists in Europe, Palestine and America; the dispatch of experts to Palestine; the future of the boundaries of Palestine. As a consequence Weizmann travels a great deal, pursuing these issues from London (October—December 1918; July—October 1919; January—February 1920 and May— July 1920) to Paris (January—June 1919) and Palestine (October—December 1919; March—April 1920).

  • IN the Six Years of Chaim Weizmann's Life Encompassed by This
    THE LETTERS AND PAPERS OF CHAIM WEIZMANN January 1907 – February 1913 Volume V, Series A Introduction: Barnet Litvinoff, based upon the Hebrew by Hanna Weiner General Editor Meyer W. Weisgal, Volume Editor Hanna Weiner and Barnet Litvinoff, Oxford University Press, London and Israel Universities Press, Jerusalem, 1974 [Reprinted with express permission from the Weizmann Archives, Rehovot, Israel, by the Center for Israel Education www.israeled.org.] IN the six years of Chaim Weizmann's life encompassed by this volume, we are enabled to observe his gradual ascent to a place of authority in a movement already being faced with decisions of far-reaching importance for the future connection of the Jewish people with Palestine. The Young Turk Revolution and the Balkan Wars have brought upheaval within the Turkish Empire. Zionism is feeling the strains of personality conflicts accentuated by a general perplexity as to its next move, and is furthermore hampered in its fullest activities by repressive measures against the movement in its largest constituency, Russia. The ensuing letters do not, unfortunately, chart Weizmann's course through these events in all its continuity. His papers relating to this period, including all the letters from his wife Vera (always illuminating for the frank discussion of his innermost feelings) have been lost. Various archives yielded a rich harvest of original letters, but we know from Weizmann's 1912 Diary of the despatch of many that have not come to light. We have sought to fill in the narrative from other sources, but there are gaps nevertheless. The account here opens when he is 32 years of age, still a junior lecturer at Manchester University though a figure of some prominence on the Zionist scene.
