ORIGINAL SOURCE

Unaccountable power always breeds resentment, especially when it is money power. The Rothschilds were demonized in Europe in much the same way as J. P. Morgan was in the United States—only more so, because they were Jewish. The myth of their omnipotence, in which they themselves sometimes believed, bred a virulent anti-Semitism, which fastened onto a uniquely visible Jewish family. To conservatives the Rothschilds were a standing threat to the established hierarchy; to socialists they stood for unbridled exploitation of the worker. Long after their power had disappeared, Hitler combined the two strands into a lethal cocktail, when he referred to the “rapacity of a Rothschild, who financed war and revolutions and brought the peoples into interest-servitude through loans.” The origins of Auschwitz can be traced in part to this fateful coupling.

From Skidelsky, Robert. “Family Values.” Review of The House of Rothschild: The World’s Banker, 1849-1999 and The House of Rothschild: Money’s Prophets, 1789-1848, both by Niall Ferguson. New York Review of Books, December 16, 1999, 24-29.
