Forging Freedom is the first full-length biography of Cerf Berr
of Medelsheim (1726-1793), the formidable eighteenth-century
emancipator of the French Jews. His early business providing forage
for thousands of horses of the French military garrisoned in Alsace
grew into a huge military supply business that earned him the
profound respect of French Kings Louis XV and XVI. After receiving
his French naturalization papers from Louis XVI as a reward for his
service to the French Crown, Cerf Berr worked tirelessly on behalf
of his Ashkenazi co-religionists to win their political
emancipation in France on September 27, 1791.
