The French Revolution, Napoleon, & the Jews
Speaker: Dr Michael Nutkiewicz, Professor of Jewish History, University of New Mexico, and served as Dean of the Cleveland College of Jewish Studies
The French Revolution set out to establish a constitutional democracy for all inhabitants of France. Yet the authors of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen asked whether Jews should be included as free citizens. When Napoleon came to power he submitted twelve questions to Jewish leaders to judge whether Jews were "ready" to enter the modern world
