Framsida
Tauris, 1995 - 405 sidor
Traces the history of the French branch of the Rothschild dynasty, from its establishment in 1809 to the present. Relates to the fact that, during the 19th-20th centuries, the Rothschilds served as a target for antisemites from both the Left and the Right (noting, especially, the attacks by Edouard Drumont). For rightists, who expressed their hatred in a direct, unveiled form, the Rothschilds were a symbol of "world Jewish power." During the Vichy period the Rothschilds were deprived of French citizenship and most of the family fled to the USA. Two of the Rothschilds survived the war as POWs in a Nazi camp.
