The surreal life. I'm Rebecca Leib. I'm Jason Horton. And this is Ghost Town.

0:19.7

In December 1972, Marie Helene de Rothschild threw a surrealist ball at the Chateau de Ferrier.

0:29.6

It is one of the many and very large and very extravagant Chateau's owned by the Rothschild family

0:37.6

located about 15 miles outside of Paris. We're going to be talking about, you guessed it,

0:46.1

the Rothschild surrealist ball of 1972. This is incredible. This is so amazing. I love surrealism. I

0:55.7

love talking about rich people. I love Chateau's 15 miles outside of Paris. I love the 70s.

1:02.3

So I familiarize myself with the Rothschild. Just heard their name before as a powerful,

1:08.0

wealthy family and obviously a lot of conspiracy slash illuminati talk comes with that. And of course,

1:18.8

I don't know if it's obvious to a lot of people, a lot of anti-Semitism.

2:09.2

people's conspiracies in rare occasions or maybe more. I don't know, are correct. But for a lot of,

2:16.0

a lot of it is, I consider it dangerous, not helpful, and usually pretty hateful. So again,

2:24.9

I'm not defending them where I'm like, leave the Rothschilds alone. No, no, no. Because I don't like,

2:30.4

I don't hate the wealthy, I don't love them either. So it's not a love hate thing for me. It's just,

2:36.6

it's just something that I found interesting that happened. It's just being a little journalist

2:40.4

over here. Yeah, I just, I just dug deep. But I didn't know anything about it. And I had to really,
