Józef Hieronim Retinger was a Polish political adviser. He was a founder of the European Movement that would lead to the establishment of the European Union and was involved in founding the Bilderberg Group.
Between 1906 and 1920, he worked on projects as diverse as:
~ The definition of a reorganization plan for Central and Eastern Europe, wanted by the general of the Jesuits, the Polish Count Ledochowski Wlodimir.
The creation of a world government, with the British federalist Arthur Capel.~ The creation of the state of Israel, in collaboration with some of the leaders of the Zionist movement, such as Chaim Weizmann and Nahum Sokolov.
