Jobotinsky Vladimir "Ze'ev"
. (1880-1940) Zionist leader,
author, poet, orator, soldier, and founder of the Jewish Self-
Defense Organization in Odessa. After World War I, Jabotinsky
actively lectured and wrote for many publications, advancing
the Zionist cause. In 1925, the World Union of Zionist Revision-
ists was established with headquarters in Paris. Jabotinsky lived
in Jerusalem from 1927-1929. While on a speaking engagement
abroad in 1929, the British administration cancelled his return
visa to Palestine. From 1930 until he died of heart failure in New
York in 1940, Jabotinsky actively lectured worldwide for the
establishment of a Jewish state. In his will, written in 1935, he
asked that when he died, he could be buried anywhere, but
requested that his remains be transferred to Palestine "only at
the instructions of a Jewish government." In 1965, ordered by
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, the remains of Jabotinsky and his
wife were reinterred on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
Photo signed ("V. Jabotinsky") on verso, with other signatures,
black & white, 2 x 3", n.p., n.d. Jabotinsky is pictured in the
foreground, third man from the left, near center. Photo was pro-
duced on German Agfa-Lupex paper, consistent with the pre-
war period. Fine.
