In Takimag, Steve Sailer has an excellent essay on various misconceptions surrounding Jewish history in Europe (“Mythos and Blood“).
That history is less Fiddler on the Roof (well-known musical by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock) and more The Rothschilds (little-known musical by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock.)
Hint: “If I Were A Rich Man” was originally titled “If I Were a Rothschild.”
