He had a lot to do with Hitler's ascendancy to power and started a private Wall St. Bank in 1930 that didn't hire a Jewish partner until after his death (in the 1980's) - he also was in a position during WWII to alert America that the Holocaust was happening but didn't, and indirectly stopped the Allies from bombing the train tracks that they knew led to concentration camps. Overall, though, I think antisemitism is a tricky topic - I don't think there's direct evidence of him saying anything against Judaism. And, for instance, I think Arthur Balfour was an enemy of the Jews, but I've found many Jewish people disagree. I'm not Jewish and I realized my perspective is often not credited.
Thank you for your kindness. What does he have to do with antisemitism?

That’s very interesting, thank you for sharing. I will research further.
