Welcome - Samuel Oppenheimer
The purpose of this blog is to post random interesting information I come across in the course of my research and fact-checking.
The first post is about a 17th-century German Jewish banker and diplomat who went to great lengths to help his fellow Jews, established many synagogues and yeshivos, and stopped dissemination of an anti-Semitic tract. After his death the government in Vienna denied payment to his heirs of all its debts to him.
