Yes, during World War II, the Rothschild family was almost on the verge of collapse. A large number of family members were killed, assets were misappropriated, and more than two-thirds of its financial institutions completely disappeared.
Introduction to the Rothschild Family: The Rothschild Family is a prestigious financial family in Europe and even the world. It developed in the early 19th century, and its founder was Mayer Amschel Rothschild. He and his five sons, the "Roche Five", successively opened banks in Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna, Naples and other famous European cities.
Established its own banking industry chain, and then continued to prosper with support for Wellington's military funds, gold mining, development of the Suez Canal, funding of railways in the Strait of Malacca, and development of oil.
However, in the ups and downs of the times, this family has inevitably declined. In the storms of World War I and World War II, the family was almost breathless from the huge losses - the British Isles were razed to the ground, Hitler's brutal persecution and the Sovietization of Eastern Europe caused the Rothschild family to lose everything, and The most important modern process, the rise of the United States, was missed (the American branch was closed in 1865 and never re-established). Today, the Rothschild family is only one of the top 20 investment banks in the world. According to the annual report data of Paris Orléans (the parent company of the Rothschild Group) from 2010 to 2011, the total assets of the Rothschild family were 8.62 billion euros (this data has been widely misrepresented in the media).
