Napoleon's victories in Europe affected many individuals whose stories have been lost from history. This short narrative tells the story of the French Revolution from the perspective of a Jewish man from Germany. The author also describes his own brush with Napoleonic authorities, when he was arrested in Frankfurt as a suspected German spy.
Gift of Richard J. H. Gottheil.
