Detailed
Description		    Report of the 15th Zionist Congress covering activities for the years 1925-27. The Fifteenth Congress reported on the prosperity in Palestine which was followed by a severe economic crisis and unemployment, which affected nearly 8,000 workers. Hunger and poverty drove many from the country and aliyah dwindled. Preoccupation with "breaking the crisis" at the 15th Congress, held in Basle on Aug. 30–Sept. 11, 1927, spoiled the celebrations in honor of the 30th anniversary of the First Congress. Weizmann outlined a proposal for overcoming the crisis, and Ruppin delivered one of his brilliant Congress speeches on pioneering and its meaning for Zionism. The Executive elected did not include a labor representative and its most forceful personality was Harry Sacher. Eulogies on Ahad Ha-Am were delivered by Martin Buber and Nahum Sokolow.
