Message: [QUOTE="Arun Vajpey, post: 407427, member: 146608"] I was also thinking on the same lines. Majority of the really rich people on the [I]Titanic [/I]were Americans and in those times there was a strong Jewish representation among them, as you say the Stausses, Guggenheim etc. I was not thinking about anti-semetism but any objections over a Jewish-Catholic union given the time; and yes, the perceived class differences . Wasn't there a Second Class couple in a similar situation? I think it was Mathilde and Leopold Weisz; not sure if Mathilde was Catholic, but she certainly attended the hymn singing session on Sunday night while her Jewish husband was strolling on the deck.
