discovered but it was too late, the traitors did not suffer in the least;
soon Amsterdam, Nijmwegen and Utrecht fell.
In this powerful way did the secret societies operate also
later, Napoleon was supported at first in all countries. But when he
did not wish to join the order but use it for his purposes, he was
allowed to fall. This happened already in 1 809. Whereas earlier he
was wonderfully well informed about all that happened in the enemy
camp while the leaders of the German troops were misled by false
information, now Napoleon found himself in the situation of not
being well informed. Never, it is said, was he greater than in his
defeat; but that did not help him.
And among the principal reasons for his catastrophe is
definitely his alienation from the Freemasons who no longer placed
their information at his service but now worked for his overthrow.
Let us turn now to the situation in Germany. Here, first of
all the encroachment of the Jews must be pointed to.
In 1 807, a Jewish lodge, "L'aurore naissante", was founded
235
in Frankfurt am Main with French support. In 1814, it was
reorganised by the Patriarch Hirschberg. 236
A book by a Freemason that appeared in 1816, Jewry in
237
Freemasonry: A warning to all German lodges, describes his
Frankfurt foundation in the following manner:
"This new Jewish Templar system of the Frankfurt lodge is
clearly enough connected to the intentions expressed in the Biblical
Organon. The knights of the three-fold cross should avenge God

[The lodge "L'aurore naissante" ("Rising Dawn") was established in Frankfurt
in 1807 by the Grand Orient of France when Frankfurt was occupied by the
Napoleonic Army. It accepted Jews into its membership at a time when they were
denied access to the German Masonic lodges. When the NapoleonicArmy withdrew
from Frankfurt, the lodge changed its name to "Loge zur aufgehenden Mogenrote".
In 1817 it was granted recognition in England as a Masonic lodge by August
Frederick, Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England.
Ludwig Borne (see below p. Ill) was a member of this lodge.]

[Ephraim Joseph Hirschfeld (ca. 1758-1 820) was a German Jewish kabbalist
and Freemason. The Biblisches Organon published in 1796 was a kabbalistic
exegesis of Genesis which he wrote along with his brother Pascal.]
