Supposed man of the people Leon Trotsky,
socialized with Baron
Rothschild,
of the "quasi-royal" Jewish family, by
far the richest family in the world.
A 1972 biography on Trotsky by Jewish
author Joseph Nevada, published by the
Jewish
Publication Society of America. States
Trotsky & Baron Rothschild used to play
chess together
in a Vienna cafe, and
Trotsky's claim he knew nothing of Jews
and Judaism was a lie.
"A Jewish journalist who knew Trotsky
from the period of his stay in Vienna
("when he used to play chess with Baron
Rothschild in Cafe Central and frequent
Cafe Arkaden daily to read the press
there") is even firmer on the Yiddish
issue: "He [Trotsky] knew Yiddish, and
if at a later date, in his
autobiography, he pretends to know
nothing about Jews and Judaism, then
this is nothing but a plain lie. He who
had visited at Cafe Arkaden for years on
end must have mastered both these
matters to perfection. The language in
greatest use at that Cafe was - besides
'Viennese-German' - Yiddish."
