| Biography |
"Born in 1865, he was one of fourteen children of a Jewish
merchant family centered in Hamburg. Several of the sons were sent
abroad to different countries to represent the family firm, which
dealt in line and cotton. Edgar had spent some time in Spain and over
ten years in Manchester, England, where he had made a sizable fortune
for himself. The Jaffe firm in Manchester had a very good reputation
for the fairness and politeness of the employers to their staff: they
always gave their Halle tickets to employees for the performances of
The Messiah and of Elijah. When his father died, Edgar Jaffe returned
to Germany and took up the academic life.
All the Jaffes of that generation had a lot of money. They tended
to retire early - some lived the life of country gentlemen on their
estates, breeding horses and trout and growing roses - and were in all
respects a fine example of that lavish prosperity which historians
associate with the founding years of Bismarck's Reich. Because of
their race, they also exemplify that Jewish success in life which so
disastrously roused the envy and enmity of less successful Germans." [1] |
