13: [In] Frankfurt [Germany]… in a cramped ghetto dwelling… with a yellow star pinned to his
caftan, Mayer Amschel Rothschild kept a small store two centuries ago.
[He] married Gutele Schnapper, and raised with her those five incredible sons who conquered
the world more thoroughly, more cunningly and much more lastingly than all the Caesars
before or all the Hitlers after them.
NO ONE DENIES THE POWER OF THE ROTHSCHILDS
The Rothschild name is no longer commonly heard in mainstream media – but this wasn’t the case
when The Rothschilds was written in 1962. Their deep connections to royalty were openly admitted in
the book.
5: No modern name breathes a more storied eminence. No nonroyal family has held so much
power so consistently, so peculiarly….
It would be insufficient to sum up the family as “still very wealthy.” The Rothschild fortunes in
England and in France are as ineffable as ever….
6: For generations the people at Buckingham Palace have recognized the kinship: Queen Victoria
often dined and slept in Rothschild houses; the Duke of Windsor fled to a Rothschild (an
Austrian one) directly after his abdication.
11: The two big [Rothschild] banks in London and Paris (probably the world’s largest private
financial institutions)… have not so much as a name plate outside.
Though they control scores of industrial, commercial, mining and tourist corporations, not
one bears the name Rothschild.
Being privately held partnerships, the family houses never need to, and never do, publish a single
public balance sheet or any other report of their financial condition.
QUITE AN INORDINATELY SUCCESSFUL FAMILY
As we read further in The Rothschilds, we find out that Mayer Amschel’s five male children distributed
themselves throughout Europe – becoming essentially the world’s first multi-national corporation.
