Ármin Beregi

1879–1953

Born in Budapest to a middle-class family related to Theodor Herzl, Ármin Beregi grew up in a culturally assimilated milieu. While studying engineering at the Budapest Technical University, he founded a number of Zionist organizations for young adults. From 1911 to 1918, Beregi led the Hungarian Zionist Organization. He organized highly skilled workers to immigrate to Palestine in the 1920s to build the Yishuv as the director of the Hungarian Palestine Office (forerunner of the Jewish Agency). Beregi wrote essays in a number of Hungarian Jewish journals, including Múlt és Jövo˝. He moved to Tel Aviv in 1935.
