Non mi andrebbe di aggiungere proprio nulla, ma è giusto essere chiari. Per me questa donna è un monumento.

"How much could 10 french franc in 1898 buy in today's rupees? What was the worth of 1 billion German mark in 1923 or 1000 Polish zloty in 1980? Was an annual wage of 25 pounds per year in 1780 much compared to the wage rates at the time?"

Amschel Moses was evidently a studious man—he was, according to his gravestone, “a man who observed the prescribed time for the study of the Torah.” This may possibly explain why he sent his son Mayer Amschel away to the rabbinical school at Fürth when he had completed his primary education in Frankfurt. Whatever his reasons, it is not the case (as some historians have erroneously inferred) that Mayer Amschel was intended for the rabbinate; [...].” However, Mayer Amschel’s studies at Fürth were cut short by the untimely death of his parents in 1755 and 1756, victims of one of the epidemics which still periodically swept through German towns. He was just twelve years old.

Havdalah spice container, Germany, late 19th Century.

During Havdalah, a Jewish religious service commemorating the end of Shabbat, the use of all five senses is intended—tasting the wine, smelling the spices, seeing the flame of the candle and feeling its heat, and hearing the blessings. Fragrant cloves, cinnamon, or myrtle leaves are held in artistically decorative spice containers with elaborate metalwork, usually made of tin and silver, and often in the form of towers stylistically influenced by local architecture.

Da un punto di vista politico, fin dalla riammissione del 1656, gli ebrei nati in Inghilterra godevano del diritto di cittadinanza. Essi non avevano, è vero, la piena uguaglianza civile e politica, ma questo voleva dire soltanto che non potevano essere eletti a cariche pubbliche e non potevano laurearsi nelle antiche Università di Oxford e Cambridge [...] Nel 1829, però, l'eliminazione di simili clausole limitative nei confronti dei cattolici e dei non conformisti aprì la questione anche per gli ebrei. La formale e totale concessione dei pieni diritti anche in questo campo fu raggiunta nel 1871. Il punto che suscitò maggiori controversie, la possibilità per un ebreo di essere eletto alla Camera dei Comuni, fu accettato dai comuni nel 1833 e dalla Camera dei Lord solo nel 1858.

Ancora nel Settecento gli ebrei tedeschi erano una comunità impoverita e a forte differenziazione sociale, dispersa nel contado o nelle piccole città. Alla metà dell'Ottocento il quadro appare radicalmente cambiato: gli ebrei sono fortemente urbanizzati e in forte ascesa economica. [...] L'imborghesimento tocca anche mentalità e comportamenti, le strutture familiari, l'educazione.

"After the Anschluß (Annexation) of Austria by Nazi Germany, the Rothschild family was forced to flee and went into exile in England. Almost immediately the Nazis turned their attention to the Rothschild art collections, the largest and most valuable Jewish-owned art collections in Austria. The treasures of Baron Louis Rothschild composed of paintings, statues, furnitures, books, armour and coins, were all seized and removed from his house at Theresianumgasse, prior to the Gestapo commandeering the building for its Vienna headquarters. Adolf Eichmann moved into the palace and set up the infamous Central Agency for Jewish Emigration in Vienna, the "purpose" of which was to "organise" the emigration of Jews from Austria."
