More information

He was born Léopold Dreyfus, to a Jewish family in Sierentz in Alsace in north-eastern France. His parents were Jeannette Victoire (Hildenfinger) and Louis Dreyfus, a farmer. As a youth, the younger Dreyfus made frequent trips to nearby Basel, Switzerland delivering grain for sale from the family farm. In 1851, he began trading wheat from neighboring farms founding a company under his father's name as he was too young to use his own (which many consider to be the world's first international grain trading company). ...   He was born Léopold Dreyfus, to a Jewish family in Sierentz in Alsace in north-eastern France.
