Soon after, the laws that restricted the rights of the Jews were lifted, thanks to the mediation of Abbot Gregoire, Mirabeau, Robespierre and others (this is done on the first occasion by all revolutionary governments), and soon afterwards, when the ideas of 1789 gained the upper hand, a veritable flood — according to the words of Capefigues — of foreigners discharged themselves over France from the banks of the Rhine.35 Then appeared in the political arena such names as Klotz, Benjamin Veitel Ephraim, Etta Palm, etc. “The Messiah has arrived for us on 28th February 1790 with the Rights of Man”,36 wrote the Jew Cohen, “and in fact the awarding of all rights of citizenship to the Jews was one of the great victories of Israel.” “The revolution of 1830”, says the Jew Bedarride, “has only perpetuated these happy results.”
Capefigue, en su obra Las grandes operaciones financieras , dice que: En cuanto fueron abolidas las leyes que restringían los derechos de los judíos gracias a la intervención del abate Gregoire, de Mirabeau, Robespierre y otros (esto lo hacen el primer día todos los Gobiernos revolucionarios), y `en cuanto prevalecieron las ideas de 1789, descargó sobre Francia una verdadera nube de extranjeros, especialmente judíos de las orillas del Rhin´ (40).
