jan 1, 1791 - Jewish Emancipation in France

Description:

During the French Revolution, France granted full citizenship to its Jewish population, ending many of the legal restrictions that had separated Jews from the wider society. The decision became a major model for Jewish emancipation across Europe and transformed the relationship between Jewish identity, citizenship, assimilation, and the modern state.
