What you need to do is dig back in the more hidden and unimagined recesses in your family genealogy until you get to the White Coats. They came from France in the world's only army already open to Jews, and they lost. Nobody took them back home. Many went South into the Ohio country.

I have no idea what that is about, or how it is part of my family's genealogy.

The issue is what happens to you when you lose a serious war.

Odds are good that you've got a White Coat back there ~ but you don't even know about him. His very existence disappeared.
