A bi-daily newspaper published in the midst of the Seventh World Zionist Congress. Basel 1905

Baseler correspondenz - a daily newspaper published twice a day during the Seventh World Zionist Congress in Basel 1905 - morning edition, and noon-evening edition. The paper reviewed congressional speeches and audience occurrences during, before, and after speeches, as well as the congressional decision-making process. Each issue is one-page. Before us issues 2, 3, 4, 6. Very rare.

Interesting reports from the Congress rooms and the main hall. The newspaper reports on both the content of the speeches delivered and the interim reactions of the audience: "Noise in the hall, some of those gathered shout: No! ", Or for example:" Dr. Nordau's speech was interrupted by loud applause ... The chairman managed to hold the afternoon A relatively quiet session ... Nordau spoke about the ultimate goal of the Zionist movement - a state in Palestine ... The Turkish government can intervene in solving the Arab problem ... ". There are reports of the various deputies and their opinions. Reports on the Zionist movement's efforts with the British government, the continuation of the Zionist movement without Herzl (who died about a year earlier), as well as the content of the speeches on the pros and cons of Uganda's proposal, and more. In the summaries of the speeches that came out after each and every congress, there was no description at all of what was happening on the part of the audience, and of interim reactions. Hence the importance of the sheets before us which describe above all, the internal occurrence in the Congress Hall.

Sheets in different sizes: 30x23 cm, and 43x23 cm. general condition very good .
