Proposals for a Jewish National State Mapped (circa 1944)
The idea of creating a state for Jews in various countries around the world has been explored at different points in history by individuals and groups within the Jewish diaspora. These proposals generally emerged from a desire to escape persecution, discrimination, or anti-Semitism, and they often reflect the diversity of opinions within the Jewish community regarding the best location for a Jewish homeland.
The world map below presents a selection of ten territories. According to this map published by Joseph Hepler, “Any one of them can be sold or assigned by the land- holding Powers to the Jews. On any one of these, or on similar territories elsewhere, the Jews can establish an independent,sovereign, democratic Jewish Nation and a Jewish State of their own.”
