Margaret R. O?Leary, MD, presents Cerf Berr's life story, recognizing his profound contributions to the liberation of the Jews of France. While chronicling his incredible journey, O?Leary not only highlights Cerf Berr's scrupulous honesty and reliability that earned him the deep appreciation of the French Crown, but also details how he besieged authorities in both Strasbourg and Versailles to grant political, social, and economic equality for all of his coreligionists in France. Cerf Berr achieved that milestone on September 27, 1791, only to die two years later after imprisonment by sadistic French revolutionaries.
Cerf Berr of Mdelsheim is the biography of a man who was faithful to his people, sought the good for the community, and cherished justice?all while making a momentous contribution to the history of France and the Jews.
