AMIRA

wrote about the Congress. Be-
sides using the archives in Basel,
Mr. Rhein is in touch with offi-
cials at the Herzl Museum in
Jerusalem, which will lend many
documents to Basel for the ex-
hibit, some of which were origi-
nally owned by the city then
given to the museum when it was
founded.
The exhibit has already gen-
erated interest form other muse-
ums and institutions eager to
have it on loan after its premiere
in Basel. In the United States, for
example, officials at the Jewish
museums in New York and Los
Angeles have expressed interest.
"And the city of Vienna is very in-
terested because that's where
Herzl was born," said Mr. Rhein.
Besides the exhibit, the cele-
bration will almost certainly in-
clude a meeting of the World
Zionist Congress in Basel. Even
though the organization still has
to officially approve the plan, it
is very likely that the group,
which meets in Jerusalem every
five years, will make an excep-
tion both of site and of year so
that its members can convene in
Basel in August 1997.
"This meeting will start in
Basel with people from all over
the world attending," says Mr.
Rhein. "Then they will go on to
Israel in special chartered
planes." The Basel to Israel route
is symbolic: Not only did the first
Zionist Congress meet in Basel,
but also the 10th one, in 1946,
just before the State of Israel was
founded. Afterwards, they were
held in Jerusalem. To help coor-
dinate all the ideas and plans,
Mr. Rhein has formed a core
working group of eight members,
both Jews and non Jews. They
include two professors from the
University of Basel, staff mem-
bers from the Jewish Museum in
Basel, and the members of the
Swiss-Israel Friendship Society,
a Christian-Jewish group. He's
also building a network of con-
tacts in Europe, Israel and the
United States.
He's in contact, for example,
with the Swiss cultural attache
to the United States and with the
Israeli ambassador to Switzer-
land, Rafi Gvir. "He's very in-
volved and has already made a
number of contacts in Israel," said
Mr. Rhein.
Meanwhile, Mr. Rhein, al-
ready at work for a year on the
event, has a game plan mapped
out for the next three years, too.
`The beginning stage is over, and
the next step will take us to July
1995," he says. "It will involve co-
ordinating everything with Israel
because this is a real Zionist
event.
"One hundred years ago, we
had a very important event in
Basel," he says. "And I hope that
the anniversary we're planning
for 1997 will be another very spe-
cial event that will also make his-

tort'."
