The Israeli Flag
Moses Amschel Bauer was a money lender and the owner of a counting house based in Frankfurt in what is now Germany. In 1743 he placed a sign above the entrance to his business premises and it took the form of a red hexagram
His son, Mayer Amschel Bauer was born soon after and worked in the same line of business. During the 1760's, he was highly successful when working for a bank owned by the Oppenheimer family based in Hanover and he became a junior partner. While working for the bank he becomes acquainted with General von Estorff.
On the death of his father, Bauer returned to Frankfurt to take over the family business and recognised the significance of the red hexagram sign. Soon after he changed his name from Bauer to Rothschild. (Rot is red in German, Schild is German for sign).
