In August 1921, on the way to Israel, Bracha (in the middle), Joseph (to her right) and a group of young pioneers, stopped in Vienna, Austria to visit Theodore Herzl\u2019s grave and pay their respect to \u201cour leader,\u201d Bracha wrote on the back of the photo.<\/p>

Herzl died on July 3, 1904 and stipulated that he should have the poorest-class funeral without speeches or flowers. \u201cI wish to be buried in the vault beside my father, and to lie there till the Jewish people shall take my remains to Israel.\u201d In August 1949, 28 years after Bracha visited his grave, his remains were moved from Vienna to be buried on top of Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, named in his memory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
