HAIM WEIZMANN was bom in Motol, a small township in what he himself C described as "one of the darkest and most forlorn corners of the Pale of Settlement." The date was 1874—precision was not the badge of official Jewish records under the Czars. He was the third of fifteen children, of whom twelve survived to maturity, and nine attained a university education —a magnificent achievement of sacrifice and mutual help in a family which, during the formative years, could boast only a very slender income. His father, as I knew him during his occasional visits to his famous son, was a quiet, reticent man, well versed in traditional Jewish learning and practice and of a natural gentility. He was engaged in the timber trade which took him much from home. He could form his own opinions and exercise his own judgment on public affairs, and on the memorable occasion when Herzl launched the Uganda project he and Chaim voted on opposite sides. He died at the age of sixty before the first world war. A more dominant influence in Chaim's life was his mother. She lived to the great age of eighty-five, and had the good fortune to pass the space of a generation in Palestine surrounded by many of her children and grandchil- dren, and in the happy knowledge of her most illustrious son's memorable achievement. She was the true matriarch in Israel, beloved and venerated by her family, none of whom would have questioned an authority which derived from character. She was the center to which one and all rallied on the great days of the Jewish year if external conditions did not obstruct. There were differences of temperament, of opinion, and of conduct, but their dose association of kinship was one of the forces which played a part in shap- ing the course of Chaim. They all had a marked intellectuality and a wit which Litvaks like to think a Litvak characteristic—in the case of Chaim the wit was not without a tinge of acid. He could on the appropriate occasion condense an argument into a graphic epigram, or convert a pretension to ridicule by a biting phrase or epithet. Motol was his home for his first thirteen years. His education there was in the traditional cheder supplemented by profane instruction, and so remote was that little town from the Russian world that he knew hardly a syllable of Russian until he went to the Gymnasium at Pinsk in 1886. There the going was hard but not unhappy. While himself a student he tutored a smaller boy for his board and lodging and fifty rubles a year. He was no longer, as he himself says, on his father's payroll. There was one good teacher among many bad and indifferent ones, and from him he drew his first impulse towards chemistry. His inclination was towards applied science, to the solv- ing of practical problems in the field of industry and agriculture. As early 462 CHAIM WEIZMANN 463 as his fourth term at Berlin he made a discovery in dye-stuff chemistry which he sold later. This was the beginning of a long series. It may be that thi8 turn of his mind accounted in part for two disappointments in his scientific career—his failure to be elected to a professorial chair at Manchester, and his failure to be elected to the Royal Society. Education, even in the limited academic sense, was a prolonged process, and in search of it the Russian Jew turned westward, usually in the first instance to Germany. In 1892 Weizmann accepted a post as teacher of Hebrew and Russian at a Jewish school at Pfungstadt near Darmstadt, a school in which sterile orthodoxy was wedded to ultra-German patriotism. Excessive work, poor food, and wretched dwellings caused a breakdown and damaged his lungs permanently. He went back to Pinsk to recuperate, and in 1895 entered Berlin University. Three years later he removed to Switzer- land and took his degree at Freiburg. From there he transferred to Geneva, where he became a Privatdozent. The years of privation were over when he sold a patent to the I. G. Farben Company and received an income of £30 a month. His first year or two at Manchester were difficult, but thereafter his material circumstances were comfortable. This had a larger importance, for it gave him an economic independence rare among Zionist leaders. In July 1904 he made what he called his flight to England. After a few weeks in London he settled in Manchester at the University. He knew no English, he had no friends, he had no money, but Manchester was to prove the ful- crum from which he moved the Jewish world. Weizmann was "in danger of being eaten up by Zionism"; that was the explanation he subsequently offered of his flight. At Pinsk he had begun his activity in the movement. Pfungstadt had only intensified his Zionist convic- tions. At Berlin he was stimulated by another kind of opposition—the Russo- Jewish revolutionaries. But he was also among men who were to be life-long friends and comrades—Shmarya Levin, Leo Motzkin, Nahum Syrkin, Victor Jacobson, Arthur Hantke, and others. In 1896 Herzl published his Judenstaat, and a year later the First Zionist Congress was held at Basle. Zionism had secured a leader, an organization, and a program. Weizmann could not attend the first Congress, but he was a delegate to the second in 1898, and it was there that he first met Herzl. There was imperfect sympathy between the two men. Vienna and Pinsk were far apart. Herzl's Jewish nationalism was nourished by anti-Semitic experi- ence in Paris, Weizmann's Zionism was rooted in ancient tradition, in mass fellowship, in Hebrew ways and thoughts. Herzl could never understand Ahad Haam's criticism that the Judenstaat had no specifically Jewish content, that the Jewish problem was not simply physical rescue but also spiritual rebirth. In all this Weizmann was on the side of Ahad Haam, who was in later years the only man to whose opinions he willingly deferred or whose advice he welcomed. But he was no mere disciple. That hard core of the practical which turned his chemistry to industry taught him the value of organization, and the sense of his capacity for leadership was growing. He was one of the chiefs of the Democratic Fraction, and was drifting into oppo- sition to Herzl. The final clash came with Uganda, when Herzl proposed 464 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK that his Judenstaat should spring up in British East Africa. Weizmann was one of the most ardent opponents. Uganda disappeared in due course from the Zionist program, but it opened Weizmann's political eyes more than he realized at the time. The offer of an autonomous Jewish community had come from England, and for the first time a great power had recognized Jewish nationality and the peculiarity of the Jewish problem. It was this consciousness which was to lead Weiz- mann to establish himself in England, to illuminate his political vision, mold his practice, and to seize the great opportunity when it presented itself. Herzl was buried on the same day as Weizmann left for England. Herzl's successor, David Wolfsohn, had the ungrateful task of holding together a badly shocked movement without the master's magic. Weizmann never did adequate justice to Wolfsohn and helped to drive him from office; but this was later. At first very isolated in Manchester, he gradually gathered round him Zionist friends, and much impressed his non-Jewish colleagues. It was a sterile phase in Zionism. On one side the "politicals," the heirs without the heritage of Herzl; on the other the "practicals," without the practice. Weizmann was developing a "synthetic" Zionism, a doctrine that only on the foundation of concrete economic, social, and cultural achievement in Pales- tine could political action be operated, and that without political action a Jewish Palestine could not come. From philosophy to action was a long step for an obscure chemist in a provincial city, but the General Election of 1906 gave him his first political contact. He met Balfour and made a deep and lasting impression upon him. There were to be many men of influence and authority who were to fall under his spell. The contrast in this regard between Herzl and Weizmann is significant. Herzl never made much of an impression upon any leading Gentile. On the other hand, the Jewish masses revered him with a veneration not yielded to many me for two thousand years. Gentile statesmen of the first rank acknowledged in Weizmann an equal if not a superior (with the lesser breed of politicians and bureaucrats he was less happy); but he had not Herzl's hold on the affections or the loyalties of the broad Jewish masses until his latter years when his great work was done and his unique place in Jewish history plain to all. The explanation is probably that Herzl was on the sur- face too much like themselves for Gentile statesmen to be impressed, while the very unlikeness of Weizmann fortified his approach. For a Jewish leader to be, and to be naturally and manifestly, Jewish made for sympathy and understanding. Conversely, it was Herzl's very remoteness from their own conditions, circumstances, and habits that strengthened his hold upon the Jewish masses. They could surrender to this leader unlike themselves as they could not to a leader sprung from their midst and so like themselves. It was in 1907 that Weizmann paid his first visit to Palestine, characteris- tically with a mission to investigate how science could develop the economic possibilities for Jewish settlement. Apart from his political work this scien- tific approach to a Jewish Palestine and to Israel was perhaps Weizmann's most concrete contribution. He was no administrator—he was not collegial and his mind leaped rather than plodded. He knew little or nothing of eco- nomics or finance—but he had vision and saw the gleam of distant objectives. CHAIM WEIZMANN 465 A small country, a country poor in the traditional natural resources. How could it be made to receive and sustain millions of Jews? His answer was: by applying to agriculture and industry the treasure of the Jewish intellect harnessed to the techniques of the future. In 1902 he had been a joint author of a pamphlet advocating a Jewish university. At the Zionist Con- gress in 1913 he read a paper on that topic. In 1916 he inspired the pur- chase of a site on Mount Scopus. He won the support of Edmund de Roths- child and of Paul Ehrlich for the project. In July 1918 he laid the foundation stones of the university and in 1925 the university was formally opened under the auspices of Lord Balfour. Universities have a theological root, and there were those who wished to make the Hebrew University a seminary or rabbinical academy. Nobody was more decidedly concerned for the Jewish spirit than Weizmann, but he was determined that it should have full freedom. From the first he insisted that it should open its gates wide to learning, and that the sciences should have pride of place to play their part in making a Jewish Palestine. With the like approach he inspired the foundation in 1933 of the Sieff Research Institute at Rehovoth, and later of the Weizmann Research Institute. Both these institutes he directed so far as his larger occupations permitted. Settled in Manchester with wife (a fellow student at Geneva whom he had married in 1906) and child, with many friends, with a comfortable income, Weizmann was reasonably happy. But the fire of Zionism would not be sub- dued. He preached Zionism to all, and when war came and Palestine became a battle area, his friends were staff officers for his campaign. They included C. P. Scott, the influential editor of The Manchester Guardian, Herbert Side- botham, the best political journalist of his day, Simon (later Sir Simon) Marks, and Israel Sieff, faithful, devoted, and inspiring. Weizmann had no office in the world Zionist organization (he did not hold one until elected president in July 1920) and the war had split the organization. But for him the hour of decision had struck. Zionism must throw in its lot with the Allies and look to England for the great political solution; and he would take the authority and accept the responsibility. His faith was justified and his leadership crowned when on November 2, 1917, the Balfour Declaration was announced to the world. It was a miracle of statesmanship and seldom has anything of the like been achieved. When Weizmann took upon himself this mission the odds against success seemed overwhelming and the resources at his command ridiculously scant. Zionism was hardly known to the general public, and by most of those who had heard of it accounted as a fantasy of dreamers remote from the real world. The prominent figures in Jewry in England and other countries, with few exceptions, were hostile. Among the Zionists there were dissen- sions as to policy and divisions as to hopes and prospects. There was in England no organization and no money except such as a few friends and comrades could offer. The Jews, unlike other nations, were not rooted in their homeland and struggling to cast off an oppressor; they were scattered throughout the world, only a modest 80,000 in Palestine and of these the majority an unimposing Chalukah dependent on philanthropy from abroad. With such resources Weizmann achieved his miracle, fortified by Jewish tradi- 466 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK tion and the deeps of the Jewish soul, and aided by the contingencies which a world war created. A Zionist literature was created to educate public opin- ion; the anti-Zionist oligarchy was broken; statesmen were converted. Weiz- mann was fortunate in that he had at his command the voluntary services of skilled journalists; that the Chief Rabbi and the Haham spoke boldly for the cause; that under the leadership of Justice Louis Brandeis American Jewry threw in its massive weight; and that such men as Balfour and Lloyd George ruled England. Who, other than Chaim Weizmann, could have seized and extracted so much from such opportunities? There was more than one plausible or concievable interpretation of the Balfour Declaration. For its authors it was the title deed to a Jewish state if the Jewish people showed the will and the power to create a Jewish state. For the lesser breed it was a wartime breach with a traditional policy in the Middle East or the shouldering of an unnecessary burden by England. When Weizmann headed the Zionist Commission to Palestine in 1918 he discov- ered that the second interpretation was favored by most of the bureaucrats and the officers on the spot. For the next generation it was the giant's task of Weizmann to make the first and not the second interpretation prevail, and throughout that time he was fighting with only partial success on several fronts. His immediate task was to rally not only all Zionists but the whole Jewish people to the upbuilding of the national home. There was lack of unity among the Zionists. Brandeis' services to the cause had been of the major order, but he had his own philosophy. He thought (or at least Weiz- mann believed he thought) that the political phase was passed, that the pres- ent and the future was with economic development, and that economic devel- opment meant private enterprise. Weizmann was convinced that he was wholly mistaken on the first count, and that as to the second, only on the basis of much national expenditure could private enterprise build. There was also a psychological barrier. Brandeis did not like some of Weizmann's methods, and Weizmann was determined to be and remain leader. Weiz- mann took that war into the enemy's land and won. There were again those impatient or extremist members on the other flank who thought that with peace the rule over Palestine should have passed forth- with to Jewish hands, or that Palestine should embrace both sides of the Jordan. It was not in Weizmann's power to give either of these two ele- ments a satisfaction which had no relation to realities. But that did not pre- vent them from being exasperated and preparing for him a bed of thorns. Under Vladimir Jabotinsky the right wing broke away and formed a separate organization, which enjoyed the luxury of irresponsibility and grandiose mythology. For Weizmann these years were an odyssey of journeyings by sea and land to the centers of Jewry, and the mass of Zionists made their response. But the resources of the whole Jewish people were needed, and Weizmann set himself to rally the non-Zionists. By 1929 he had succeeded in constituting an enlarged Jewish Agency in which these elements had their place. It was crippled from the start by the death of Louis Marshall, and it hardly achieved the purpose for which it was designed. If it could not be said that the whole Jewish people did all that they could and should have done, it was no fault CHAIM WEIZMANN 467 of their indomitable leader. And the essential was achieved. When the test- ing hour came there were 600,000 Jews in Palestine, too strong and too numerous to be bartered away as pawns in the misconceived game of a gov- ernment that wished not to know Joseph, and resolute to meet and to over- throw invaders. Far harder was Weizmann's task with the rulers in Whitehall and Jeru- salem. A generation of little men and little imaginations had come into office at Westminster, and in Palestine the bureaucrats were increasingly free to whittle down and transform the promise of the Balfour Declaration. It was a war-weary British nation, a myopic government, and a bureaucracy that preferred Arabs to Jews. The Arabs sensed the change. Their leaders hated the Declaration with all its implications, and they sought a powerful weapon in disorder and murder. It was Weizmann's belief that a clear and undeviat- ing policy on the part of the British authorities would have checked ambi- tions and reduced tension while the solid fabric of the national home was being constructed. But the actual policy of those authorities was hesitant and devious, and the violent among the Arabs took courage. A succession of outbreaks was followed by a succession of inquiries, and the burden of the reports was that the Balfour Declaration was the root of the trouble. The constitution of the enlarged Jewish Agency in 1929 was the signal for an extensive outbreak of Arab violence. It led to the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry with the usual Report. A Labor Government was in office with Ramsay Macdonald as Prime Minister and Lord Passfield (Sidney Webb) as Colonial Secretary—Palestine was under the Colonial Office. Lord Passfield issued a White Paper which spelled the sterilization of the Jewish National Home and the practical repeal of the Balfour Declaration. Weiz- mann resigned as president of the World Zionist Organization in protest and rallied all available forces. A cabinet committee was formed to meet and discuss with Zionist representatives, and the outcome was a letter from Mac- donald which went a long way towards interpreting away the Passfield White Paper. It was a considerable political achievement, though in negotiation with these men Weizmann was not as happy as he had been with their prede- cessors. However a new high commissioner, Sir Arthur Wauchope, was appointed with helpful instructions and under him the national home made great strides. But Weizmann was less fortunate with his fellow Zionists. The Congress was held in July 1931. The opposition had been stimulated by the White Paper and not comforted by the Letter. Weizmann responded to attacks by resigning the presidency, and thereafter a vote of no confidence in his policy was passed. Wisdom was with him, but his tactics at the Congress were open to question. He had got out of touch with the mass of Zionists and his own colleagues. If his resignation was a loss to the World Zionist Organization it was an educational tonic for himself. He retired to his scientific work and meditated on events. But chemistry was no substitute for Zionism, and though out of office Weiz- mann was indispensable. He traveled for the Funds in America and through- out South Africa; he tried to win famous scientists like Richard Willstatter and Fritz Haber for the SieflE Institute; he became chairman of the Central 468 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK British Fund for Jewish Relief. Hitler was now in office, and the great catastrophe was beginning. Weizmann strove to get many exiled German Jewish scientists to settle in Palestine and to divert others to settle there. In 1935 he was once more president of the World Zionist Organization. By interview and lecture he sought to win French support; and three times he met Mussolini for the same purpose. There was a government of appease- ment in England, and he had to fight a dangerous proposal for a Legislative Council and to sustain contacts with the Permanent Mandates Commission. In 1936 disorders on a very large scale broke out in Palestine, and the Government sent out a Commission of Inquiry under Lord Peel. Before this Weizmann pleaded the Jewish cause and plunged for partition, an autono- mous Jewish state in as large an area of Palestine as could be obtained. He had to struggle with the Zionist Congress not to reject the idea, but events proved his wisdom. Yet here again he revealed his habit of playing a lone hand and ignoring his colleagues. The British Government adopted and abandoned Partition, and moved along the road to abandonment of the Balfour Declaration. That goal was reached early in 1939 when the St. James Conference was held, from which emerged the notorious Macdonald White Paper. Weizmann again put the Jewish case, but the hostile policy had been determined in advance. He had not taken the measure of the members or the servants of the Government. Throughout the war Weizmann sought to rescue Jewish victims from Hit- ler in the teeth of British policy, and at the same time to maintain Zionist association with and ultimate trust in England. It was a heartbreaking task. The World Zionist Organization was bringing "illegal" immigrants into Pales- tine; dissident groups in Palestine had taken to terrorism; and when in 1945, a Labor Government came into power, Ernest Bevin was to prove utterly hostile. At this stage the influence of the United States and of Presi- dent Harry S. Truman became the decisive factor in regard to Palestine. The President pressed for the admission to Palestine of 100,000 Jews. He agreed to the Anglo-American Commission of Inquiry. He urged the acceptance of its report, and he began to advocate a Jewish state. When the Palestine issue came for decision before the United Nations, the United States secured approval of its report embodying a Jewish state; and when the state was proclaimed it was President Truman who gave it immediate recognition. Throughout this fateful period the statesmanship of Weizmann, his pres- tige, and his personality were vital. He was in America during most of the time, and it is due to his influence with the President that the Negev was included in the Jewish state and recognition was so prompt. When others were hesitant he was insistent that the state should be proclaimed at the earliest moment. There is more than a touch of irony in the circumstance that these services were rendered when he was out of office. In 1947 the Zion- ist Congress had passed the equivalent of a vote of no confidence on a ques- tion of tactics. The injustice was repaired when the highest honor in the power of the Jewish people was paid him. On May 17, 1947 he was elected President of Israel, an office he retained until his death on November 8, 1952. Weizmann's influence as President was much reduced. The principal problems were administrative and he was no administrator. He was out of CHAIM WEIZMANN 469 sympathy with the Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion. An honorable but inactive status irked him; soon he became gravely ill. But his real work was done, and he had the satisfaction seldom given to a man of seeing the pas- sion and the ambition of a lifetime fulfilled. He, more than any other sin- gle individual, had fashioned a state out of a scattered band of exiles, and the pattern of it was much as he had designed. His life was a dedication to the Jewish cause, and it was marked by a rare and singular consistency of pur- pose and policy. A widow and a son survive him. His younger son, Michael, was killed as a pilot officer during World War II. HARRY SACHER.
