Jacob de Haas
Jacob de Haas (13 August 1872 – 21 March 1937) was a British-born Jewish journalist and an early leader of the Zionist movement in the United States and England.
De Haas, who at one time served as secretary to Dr. Theodor Herzl, introduced him to the English public. He later wrote Herzl's biography and was widely regarded as an authority on Zionism. He was the secretary of the First Zionist Congress. When England recognized the Zionist movement in 1917 and declared its support for a Jewish state in Palestine, he described it as “a great day in the history of the world.”
