For decades Richard Lichtheim, who was born in 1885, represented
the interests of the Jewish national movement vis-a-vis the ruling
powers of the time: during the First World War he was the
representative of the Zionist organization in Constantinople, where
he made a significant contribution to protecting the Yishuv, the
Jewish settlement in Palestine, at. During the Holocaust he acted
as an emissary for the Jewish Agency in Geneva, where he was one of
the first to learn about the murder of European Jewry. He
tirelessly tried to spread the word about the millions of murders
and to organize help. At the same time, against the background of
his diplomatic activities, Lichtheim's idea of Jewish
self-determination in Palestine was updated: he changed from a
convinced right-wing Zionist revisionist to a partisan of the
left-liberal Aliya Hadasha. The source edition also provides
insight into Lichtheim's diplomatic activities and the impact of
this work on his conception of Zionism.
