Protocol of "Hovevei Zion" Conference - Katowice, 1884
Protokolle der Delegirten-Versammlung der Chowawe-Zion. C. Miarka press with Nicolai O.S., [Katowice, Prussia-Poland, 1884]. German.
Booklet with protocols of sessions of the "Hovevei Zion" conference in Katowice, November 1884.
36 delegates participated in this conference, representatives of the different "Hovevei Zion" associations. In view of the suspicion that Russian authorities will object, the conference was held as a meeting in honor of the 100th birthday of Moses Montefiore.
Among other things, printed in this booklet are the opening address delivered by Yehudah Leib Pinsker in which he claimed that to be rescued from their inferior state Jews have to return to Palestine and to farming. In this version, references to nationality have been omitted from Pinsker's speech, which led to accusations against the movement for trying to hide its national attitudes.
