The article discusses how the Rothschild family's prominence was viewed during the first major international financial crisis of the modern era (starting around 1873). It notes that while the family, which had established banks across Europe, maintained a strong reputation and weathered the economic storm well, the ensuing depression coincided with rising anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe. Despite this general backlash against Jews for the economic downturn, critics often focused on other figures rather than the Rothschilds.
