Theodor Herzl (Hebrew: תִאוַדור הֶרְצְל, Ti'vadar Hertzel; Hungarian: Herzl Tivadar; May 2, 1860 – July 3, 1904) was the founder of the modern political Zionism that established the so-called modern state of Israel.[1] He is specifically mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence and is officially referred to as "the spiritual father of the Jewish State".[2]

He died of cardiac sclerosis in 1904 in Austria. He was buried in Mount Herzl, which was named for him. Until 1949, Mount Herzl was the only National Military and Police Cemetery. After 1951 the National Civil Cemetery of the State of Israel (Helkat Gdolei Ha'Uma) was opened beside his grave in the Southern side of Mount Herzl. Also a section for his family graves was built near Mount Herzl Plaza and his grave.[1]
