The 100th anniversary of the birth of Max Nordau, German Zionist leader and author and colleague of Theodor Herzl, will be celebrated here Sunday by the publication of a pamphlet dealing with Nordau’s share in Zionist achievements. The pamphlet will be published by the executive of the World Zionist Organization.

In the pamphlet, tribute also will be paid to Anna Nordau, his widow, and to Maxa, his daughter, who now lives in New York City. The pamphlet will contain a letter from Israel Premier David Ben Gurion stressing the “profound feeling of the government over the unforgettable acts” of the Zionist leader. The “Zionist Library” of the World Zionist Organization is in process of publishing a new edition in Hebrew and Yiddish of all of Nordau’s works.
