Rothschild Saga

Movies
A television drama. Rothschild stands for one of the most powerful banking families. The representative of the fate of many wealthy Jewish families before World War II. Mayer Amschel Rothschild left the Frankfurt ghetto in 1756 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.
