Eugene Debs - Secret Agent Man
We get most of the standard red flags on #Debs, including coming from a family of old wealth. It is admitted his father came from a wealthy French family. It looks like Debs may also have been Jewish.
The Socialist Party was led in those decades by five men: Morris #Hillquit (who was really Morris Hillkowitz), Victor #Berger, Daniel #deLeon, Eduard #Bernstein and Eugene #Debs. The first four are admitted to be Jewish.
Debs' grandmother on his father's side was Catherine Marguerite Hoffman. Her parents have been scrubbed, but the surname is Jewish. Debs' mother was Marguerite Marie Betterich and her genealogy has also been scrubbed. We do not know who her parents were.
