Toby E. Rodes (25 October 1919; Frankfurt am Main, Germany–20 April 2013; Basel, Switzerland) was a business consultant, design-critic, journalist and, on occasion, lecturer, who has concerned himself for more than 60 years with public relations and interior design. He was the founder of an international public relations and marketing agency located in Basel. == Personal Life/Family == Toby E. Rodes' father, Charles A. Rosenthal, a banker and businessman, restructured the Phillip Holzmann AG in Frankfurt after the global economic crisis of 1928. He was a 3rd generation American with German and Hungarian roots and studied law in Munich. Works of Toby‘s American grandfather, a world-famous painter of his time, can be found in many museums in the United States. His often published Portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach's family has marked permanently our vision of the composer. Toby E. Rodes' mother, Olivia Veit, came from a rare union between a noble English family with an old German-Jewish one. Before her marriage, she was a celebrated German actress. Cultural diversity and multilingualism were taken for granted in the Rosenthal family. In 1934, at the Lessing Senior High School in Frankfurt a biology teacher made an anti-Semitic speech in front of Toby’s class. After this incident Toby left the school forever and went to French Switzerland, where he attended an English High School on Lake Geneva. He studied accounting at the London School of Economics. He left for the United States in 1937 and studied international finance at the American Institute of Banking/Columbia University and law at New York University. He has been married to Dr. h.c. Sc W.E. Rodes-Bauer for 40 years. Today they live in Basel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toby E. Rodes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
