YISROEL
ZAKS (ISRAEL SACHS)
He came from Russia. He lived a short time in Israel and in the
late 1920s settled in Melbourne, Australia.
He published the pamphlet: Der
oyfkum fun medines yisroel un di yeride fun hige tsienistishe manhigim (The
rise of the state of Israel and the decline of local Zionist leaders)
(Melbourne, 1949), 49 pp. According to
the author, he also published the pamphlets: Tsienizm, teritoryalizm mit a tropn bundizm (Zionist, territorialism
with a drop of Bundism)[1] and Di farborgene soydes fun arum dem relif-fond (The hidden secrets
from around the relief fund).

1986), col. 258.
[1] WorldCat list this work as by Aḥad Haam but with a publication date of 1943 (long
after his death) and place of publication as Melbourne. Zaks may have been the translator into
Yiddish or simply the publisher of the 1943 edition, though there is no mention
of his name here.
