Der Jüdische Nationalfonds. Draft of an essay on the JNF, typewritten on official stationery ("Joh. Kremenezky, Wien"), with corrections and multiple additions in the handwriting of Jonah (Johann) Kremenezky. Vienna, [1931-1932]. German. Kremenezky (1850-1934) - a Zionist capitalist, industrialist and entrepreneur, a pioneer of the electricity industry in Europe, first chairman of the Jewish National Fund (in 1902-1907), inventor of the JNF's fundraising methods (the Blue Box, the stamps and the "Golden Book") and a close friend of the Herzl family (trustee of Herzl's personal estate).

At the beginning of the essay Kremenzky writes: "From time to time Prof. Albert Einstein is asked for his opinion, as he believes the revenue of the JNF can be higher. He says: 'When we are able to receive from 16 million Jews even one schilling per year, [the JNF] will have what it needs.'" [15] leaves, many handwritten corrections + [1] handwritten p (7a), 29.5 cm. Good condition. Small tears to margins of last leaves.
