"It depends on the Jews themselves whether this political pamphlet remains for the present a political romance. If the present generation is too dull to understand it rightly, a future, finer and better generation will arise to understand it. The Jews who wish for a State shall have it, and they will deserve to have it." Preface

"Der Judenstaat. Versuch einer modernen Losung der Judenfrage" ist ein Buch von Theodor Herzl, mit dem er versuchte, eine judische Antwort auf die damals so genannte Judenfrage aufzuzeigen. Es erschien 1896 in Leipzig und Wien in der "M. Breitenstein's Verlags-Buchhandlung," nachdem "Cronbach" in Berlin und "Duncker & Humblot" eine Publikation abgelehnt hatten.
