Karl Marx’s father, Herschl Marx, was a Jewish lawyer who had converted his family to Christianity in order to preserve his job in the Prussian state. Marx became an international revolutionary, moving successively from Prussia to Paris and then to London. He lived a more or less exemplary family life (in poverty), had six children and has living descendants. He wrote a lot of theoretical books as well as ephimerae (economy and social pieces as freelance radical journalist).
