Rothschild Saga

Austria 2022 | 60 minutes | German | Hebrew, English subtitles

Rothschild stands for one of the most powerful banking families - representative of the fate of many wealthy Jewish families before World War II. Mayer Amschel Rothschild left the Frankfurt ghetto in 1756 as a 12-year-old and learned the profession of dealing in coins and banking. In 1811, he transferred a substantial sum to Frankfurt, in return for which the Jewish community received civil rights. To this day, however, the mysterious and fascinating “Rothschild” name is the subject of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and smear campaigns.
