About this title

Synopsis:

This is the history of the personal, political and financial fortunes of the Warburg banking family, from their origins, through the loss of their empire under Hitler's Third Reich, and beyond. As the pre-eminent Jewish banking dynasty in pre-World War II Germany, the Warburgs operated in the highest ranks of German political life, but seemed impervious to the threat of anti-semitism. Their success reached its height with the famous five brothers: Max, Fritz, Felix, Paul and Aby - all powerful bankers and philanthropists. However with the rise of Nazism, the Warburgs were forced to England, France and America. Siegmund Warburg, Max's nephew, founded SG Warburg & Co, now the most prestigious merchant bank in London.
