Answer 1

Thank you so much for that piece of historical revelation. We will treasure the prayer that was prayed on Napoleon's behalf !!! There is no answer available to your question. Some people are born with a strong sense of fairness in there bones and practice it throughout their lives !!! Or perhaps he read his bible !!! And came to the right conclusions !!! Rare man, indeed !!!

Answer 2

Despite his many flaws, Napoleon was a brilliant man. Jews were among the most intelligent and educated people of the time, and some controlled a lot of wealth.
