Zionist Century - Concepts - Zionist Congresses
Eighteenth Congress - Prague, 1933
Congress met under the
impact of three major developments:
- the advent of the Nazis to power in Germany;
- an inflationary economy in Palestine, and finally
- the assassination of the Labor leader and head of the Jewish Agency
Political Department, Chaim Arlosoroff.
Mutual recriminations between the Labor movement - united in Palestine
as Mapai in 1930 - and the Revisionists reached new heights. A committee
of inquiry was established to investigate the murder.
This was the first Congress where the Labor movement outnumbered the
supporters of General Zionism.
