Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Vera Maria Rosenberg was a British woman who was born in Romania. She was a friend of the Rothschild family, and she was awarded the highest rank in the Legion of Honor by the French government. She died in 2006, and her life was opened up to the public.

#2 Vera’s mother, Hilda, was a daughter of Heinrich Etkins, who had fled from the Russian anti-Semitic pogroms and settled in South Africa in 1874. She registered herself as Hilda Atkins in 1902 at a London synagogue to become the wife of Max Rosenberg.

#3 Max was a Jewish Zionist who traveled with the peasant workers he employed. He had a mansion and lots of land in what was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He paved roads to isolated villages and built himself a popular rural base. His wife had the style of an English gentlewoman.

#4 In Romania, the fascist Iron Guard leader Octavian Goga echoed Hitler’s claim that the 1919 peace talks were a Jewish conspiracy to rearrange the map of Europe. Vera saw that what plagued Jews today would hurt all future dissenters of any faith.
