Éric de Rothschild

Baron Éric Alain Robert David de Rothschild (born 3 October 1940) is a French banker.

[2] He took over the management of Château Lafite Rothschild from his uncle in 1973[3] and turned it from a "traditional, perhaps not precise, instrument to an artistic, professional one", a move that enabled the vineyard to remain competitive during the 1980s when international wines became more competitive.

[10] He has been the chairman of the Mémorial de la Shoah, a museum about The Holocaust in Paris, since 2001.

[1] In 2010, with Serge Klarsfeld, he revealed the existence of a document that contained a law project regarding the fate of Jewish people in France, and annotated by the Maréchal Pétain.

[11] In 2012, he called for the teaching of the Holocaust in French schools, to combat antisemitism and all forms of racism.
