About Jacob I Herzl

death notice in the Neue Freie Presse - http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno?apm=0&aid=nfp&datum=19020611...

JACOB HERZL (1835-1902), Theodor's father, was a highly successful businessman. Utterly devoted to his son, he enabled him to develop his many talents and did all in his power to advance Herzl's plans. He helped him in his Zionist activities with advice and financial support. Theodor, in fact, regarded his father as his strongest source of moral support. Jacob Herzl put at his son's disposal a large sum that he had saved over many years of hard work; it was spent in a short period of time to finance the new and penniless Zionist Movement. At a later stage, when it became necessary to publish a Yiddish edition of Die Welt "The World", the central organ of the Zionist Movement, Herzl's father allocated another substantial sum for the purpose. Jacob Herzl was also a delegate to the Second Zionist Congress.
