"This film was shown during the 11th Zionist Congress in Vienna in August 1913, then in Russia, Poland and other places in Europe until the eve of the first World War when all copies vanished ... The original negative was found and identified in 1997 by les Archives du film du Centre national de la cinématographie in the collections of the Cinémathèque française. The reconstruction of the film, based on written original sources found in archives in Jerusalem and Poland, was made in collaboration with the Israel Film Archive-Jerusalem Cinematheque."
