Very rare first Polish edition of what the publishers claimed to be the first complete history of Zionism in Polish up to the present day (1935). Tsineman (1893-1966) was born in Eastern Galicia to a Zionist father and follower of the Jewish Enlightenment. As a leading Zionist he spent the years 1927 to 1939 in Warsaw, publishing and writing in Yiddish, Hebrew and Polish. After Soviet deportation to Central Asia he established himself in Paris as writer in Yiddish, and added to this history of Zionism more volumes up to the establishment of Israel (in Yiddish, 1947-1949).

WorldCat locates copies at Columbia University (described as four volumes in one); and in the National Library of Israel (five volumes, as here); not in LibraryHub.
