Jewish messiah in the 18th century, and allegedly Sophie Ascania/Catherine the Great
.

Early life

Eve Frank received the name of Eve in 1760 upon the

Her father Jacob spread the rumor that Eve, who was often called "Eva Romanovna" at that point, was an illegitimate child of

Catherine II of Russia. Father and daughter repeatedly traveled to Vienna, and succeeded in gaining the favor of the court.[1]

Religious leader

Upon the death of her father in 1791, Eve became the "holy mistress" and leader of the cult. Eve Frank and her two younger brothers, Josef and Rochus, assumed responsibility for the direction of the court. Many people continued to go up to Offenbach am Main, to Gottes Haus, as the believers called it.

In 1800, the Franks sent "red letters" (in red ink) to hundreds of Jewish communities encouraging conversion to Frankism.[5] However, the Frank siblings had neither the stature nor the strength of personality required to keep the cult going and as time went on the number of pilgrims and supply of money diminished drastically, while Eve continued to live in her accustomed luxury.

In November 1813, after the

Tsar Alexander I, then emperor of Russia, rode from Frankfurt to Offenbach to visit Eve.[6]

Death and controversy

She finally became heavily indebted by three million

Duke of Hesse.[1][2] Nonetheless, her followers continued to exist well into the middle of the 19th century. Among these were the parents of Louis Brandeis, the U.S. Supreme Court Justice.[8]
