Items related to The Goldschmidts: A European Dynasty
"The Goldschmidts: A European Dynasty" is the rich and colourful story of one among history's most resilient breeds - the Jewish banking dynasties of Frankfurt, the most important financial centre in Europe's 'Middle Kingdom'. A well-to-do ancestor of the Goldschmidts settled in the ghetto in the 1520s, and thereafter the family starred among the six richest Jewish clans - outperforming the Rothschilds in this respect - for the next three and a half centuries. Through five hundred years of war and peace, persecution and pestilence, the family produced some of Europe's most successful financiers and bankers, as well as scientists, philanthropists, politicians, artists and novelists, entrepreneurs and eccentrics, striking out from their German base to take vigorous root in Austria, Belgium, France and Britain. Drawing on a wealth of source material, from both Europe and the United States, Anthony Allfrey brings to life, and up to date, the legacy of one of Europe's most extraordinary families.
