Here you will find the genealogy of Rashi - one of the most famous Jews who ever lived.
Franz Kafka
"The human mind isn’t complicated enough" - said Albert Einstein having not managed to read a Kafka novel. Kafka, whose writings - prophecies of the coming century, embarass and make one feel unable to undertsand, remains a unique figure in the literature of the 20-th century. He did not continue his family and had no children. Here you may find what people were in the family of the genius.
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein - a modest clerk in the patent office who at the age of 26 shattered forever the stone idols of time and space that seemed unreachable and located high above human consciousness. This man saying that reality is an illusion, though a stable one, so much differed by his opinions from the people surrounding him that he seemed brought here from another world. Here you will find what family the genius came from.
Lev Landau
Lev Landau, the last universal physicist, marks the end of a whole epoque in physics preceeding the growing specialization and inability to understand colleagues working in other areas. A founder of an entire school of physics and the author of the most classical textbook on it, he had a rare gift of finding simplicity and clarity in difficult subjects as if having access to their very essence. Here one can find which family gave the world this genius.
Lev Trotsky
Lev (Leon) Trotsky was probably one of the most passionate and most notoriously known people who lived in the twentieth century. It is actually him who made the Russian revolution having changed the entire course of history with a single speech able to turn entire trains with soldiers back. Here you will find the genealogy of this infamous personality.
Karl Marx
The impact of this man on history is tragic. Armed with his theories and also less theoretical weapons, people robbed and killed their neighbors having found justification for simple envy in his books. Here you will find the genealogy of this rather misanthropic in character personality.
