The Herzl Museum is located
atop of Har
Herzl (Mount Herzl). Har Herzl is a military
cemetery and also the burial site of many
great Israeli leaders including Yitzhak
Rabin and Golda
Meir. Theodor Herzl's tomb is the center
of attraction on the Mountain.
The museum details the life
of Theodor
Herzl, and it describes the many contributions
he made to the Zionist cause.
An hour-long video creatively portrays the
motivations and visions of the Zionist leader.
Harsh anti-Semitic sentiments
in both Europe and the United States led
to Theodor Herzl's pursuit of an entirely
Jewish state.
While the film and the museum
depict the greatness of the Israeli cause,
they do not pretend that Israel is the perfect
state. The film also notes the work that
needs to be done to fulfill the original
goals of Zionism.
The Herzl Tomb is located
on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
