** Haym Salomon The Financier of the Revolution, an Unwritten Chapter in American History **

.

During the American Revolution, the stores were completely empty, and there was no money to provide for the soldiers’ basic needs. For long weeks, the army lacked food. At that time, the Jewish financer hero “Haym Salomon” emerged. He was a Polish Jew who had amassed a fortune and mastered several languages. He arrived in New York in 1772, joined the “Sons of Liberty” organization, and later the Congress made an agreement with Haym Salomon, under which he would provide funds to the government and resources to the army. Salomon honored the agreement.

Haym Salomon wasn’t just generous in financing the fledgling American state and its army; he also lent money to members of Congress and the new nation’s leaders. He loaned money to Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James Madison.

In 1785, Haym Salomon died at the age of 45 without recovering what he had lent to the state and its army. The Encyclopedia Britannica estimates that Salomon’s contributions to the American government are equivalent to more than 3 trillion dollars today.

Following Salomon’s immense contributions, George Washington asked him what he wanted as a reward. Salomon replied that he wanted nothing for himself but asked that the 13 stars on the United States seal be arranged to form the Star of David.

In honor of Haym Salomon’s contributions, a project was launched in 1893 to mint a gold coin in his name. Many books have been written about him, including a work by the author Howard Fast titled Haym Salomon: Son of Liberty.

That same year, a sculptural statue of him, designed by Lorado Taft, was erected in Chicago. In 1946, a memorial was established in Los Angeles, and in 1975, the United States issued a postage stamp in his honor, printed in green ink and bearing the title “Financial Hero: Businessman Haym Solomon was responsible for financing the American Revolution to save the nation from collapse.”

Every anti-Semitic critic of the pro-Israel lobby (AIPAC) and every Democratic member of Congress who opposes the annual aid the United States provides to Israel should always remember that a Jew extended a helping hand to America, saved it, and died at 45, leaving behind a widow and four children all for the sake of the United States.

Without his sacrifices, these anti-Israel Congress members and ungrateful individuals wouldn’t have reached Congress.
