To mark the 101st anniversary of the conference, at which it was decided to establish a home for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, the following essays were written especially by the nation's representatives for settlement, dream fulfillment and national pride.
The magnificent building that hosted the conference passed through the ownership of an English earl who named it after his wives, a colonel and an opera singer who turned it into a cultural center, and a businessman from Turin. Today it serves as an apartment hotel, but no one in the city forgets that it also used to be an SS headquarters.
Most Arabs in the Land of Israel saw themselves at the beginning of the last century as part of the "Greater Syria'' that was to be established. The San Remo Conference and the British promise to establish a national home for Jews gave rise to a counter-response that developed into the Palestinian narrative.
