Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove Kalergi (1894-1972) - Coudenhove Kalergi was not Jewish himself. On his father's side, he was of mixed European descent (Flemish. Chech Hungarian Greek) with lots of nobility. His mother was a Japanese from an aristocratic family. He married the 13-year-old Jewess Ida Roland [born Ida Klausner] a popular actress with whom he has two sons. Ida Roland died in 1951. In 1952 he married Alexandra Gräfin von Tiele, born Bally. In 1969 he married the Austrian Jewess Melanie Benatzky Hoffmann.

Count R. N. Courdenhove-Kalergi is seen by many as the father of the modern European Union. It was he who suggested Beethoven's hymn as the EU's national anthem and was very active in connection with the design of the EU logo which contains 12 stars that symbolize the 12 tribes of Israel. The logo was finalized by the Jew Paul M.G. Lévi.

Otto von Habsburg was Coudenhove-Kalergi's successor as president of the Pan-European Union. He is an honorary professor of the University of Jerusalem, and recipient of the 'International Humanitarian Award', of the 'Anti Defamation-League ADL of the Jewish B’nai B’rith Masonry Lodge.
