For his son, Wolfgang, this was a call to the flag, and a cause he dedicated his life to. For Dr. Von Weisl, Zionism had only one meaning: living in what is now called the land of Israel (and than Palestine), participation in its building and defance, and the struggle to ensure its indepandance towrd the Zion Return.
