Book Review  by Ida Nasatir

Next Year in Jerusalem: The Story of Theodore Herzl by Nina Baker
Aug 18, 1950—Ida Nasatir, book review, Next Year in Jerusalem: The Story of Theodore Herzl by Nina Baker,  Southwestern Jewish Press, page 6.   Editor's Note: This review ran without a byline but was accompanied by Ida Nasatir's photo.

There have been, within the last few years, a handful of simply-written books about Theodor Herzl, intended for young readers. Although Nina Baker's well-weritten volume offers nothing that is new, it manages to capture the excitement of Herzl's search for a Jewish homeland. Thewre is at the end of the book, a good description of Herzl's recent reburial in Israel.  Next Year in Jerusalem should make interesting material for young readers.
