The memory of Jacob de Haas, an American Jew and one of Theodor Herzl’s co-workors in Zionism, was honored here this week-end at a special ceremony held by the world executive of the Herut-Revisionist Party. Mr. de Haas died 13 years ago.
It was announced that an assembly hall boaring his name will be built in Israel. It was also reported that a group of American Jews has been organized to raise funds for this project.
