The Dreifuses and the Kaines (and the Renbergs, and the Ackermans, and the Strauses . . . )

In The Dreifuses and the Kaines (and the Renbergs, and the Ackermans, and the Strauses. . . ), the author traces the history of the Dreifus and Kaine families of Detroit, Michigan and their various branches from their roots in medieval Europe and Russia to the present day. Members of these families played a part in a number of significant historical developments of the last two centuries, among them the settlement of Oklahoma, the rise of the Pittsburgh steel industry, the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921, the rearmament of Germany after World War I, the creation of the American secondary mortgage market, Kristallnacht, the development of the atom bomb, and the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. Included are family trees of the Dreifus, Kaine, Schlafer, and Renberg families.
