    Description

    In 1789, the French proclaimed liberty to all their citizens including the Jews of France.
    Except that Jews hadn’t been allowed in the country since 1394 – so who was actually emancipated? Why was Metz so important? What happened to Sefardi arrivals into the country?
    And in the battle between the King and Strasbourg, whose side were the Jews on?
