In 1923, James Nathaniel Charles Léopold Rothschild, son of Henri James Nathaniel Charles Rothschild and Mathilde Sophie Henriette de Weisweiller, married Claude du Pont of the Du Pont family. After the death of James Jacob de Rothschild in 1868, his eldest son Alphonse Rothschild took over the management of the family bank and was the most active in support for Eretz Israel. The Rothschild family archives show that during the 1870s the family contributed nearly 500,000 francs per year on behalf of Eastern Jewry to the Alliance Israélite Universelle. Jewish solidarity in the family was not homogeneous.
All family members escaped the Holocaust, some of them moving to the United States, and returning to Europe only after the war. In 1999, the government of Austria agreed to return to the Rothschild family some 250 art treasures looted by the Nazis and absorbed into state museums after the war.

About the Author
I enjoyed this book because I think that often students do not have the opportunities to travel and so this book gives them the opportunity to see what it is like around the world in different situations. I also think that sharing some books with students that are simple are powerful because they are able to share a point or message in a less complicated way and children can understand it better. I would suggest this book for younger students in teaching a classroom unit on homes. Pages contain marginal notes, underlining, and or highlighting. Possible ex library copy, with all the markings/stickers of that library.
Edmond de Rothschild Group's committee is currently being chaired by Benjamin de Rothschild, Baron Edmond's son. The Rothschild banking family of England was founded in 1798 by Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777–1836), who first settled in Manchester but then moved to London. Nathan Mayer von Rothschild, the third son of Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812), first established a textile jobbing business in Manchester and from there went on to establish N M Rothschild & Sons bank in London. Later, the fall of France during the Second World War led to the seizure of the property of the French Rothschilds under German occupation.

A copy that may have a few cosmetic defects. May also contain a few markings such as an owner’s name, short gifter’s inscription or light stamp. This high-quality Spanish-language book can be enjoyed by fluent Spanish speakers as well as those learning the language, whether at home or in a classroom. She and photographer Ken Heyman once traveled across the United States to document the lives often different families. Both she and the teacher's pupils liked the snake charmer/teacher who taught class in a circus trailer with her favorite boa around her neck.
The 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia described the Rothschilds as "the guardians of the papal treasure". In Vienna, Salomon Mayer Rothschild established a bank in the 1820s and the Austrian family had vast wealth and position. The crash of 1929 brought problems, and Baron Louis von Rothschild attempted to shore up the Creditanstalt, Austria's largest bank, to prevent its collapse. Nevertheless, during the Second World War they had to surrender their bank to the Nazis and flee the country. Their Rothschild palaces, a collection of vast palaces in Vienna built and owned by the family, were confiscated, plundered and destroyed by the Nazis. The palaces were famous for their sheer size and for their huge collections of paintings, armour, tapestries and statues .

Despite having their bank restored to them at the end of the war, the French Rothschilds were powerless in 1982 as the family business was nationalised by the socialist government of newly elected President François Mitterrand. The brothers helped coordinate Rothschild activities across the continent, and the family developed a network of agents, shippers and couriers to transport gold across war-torn Europe. The Rothschilds already possessed a significant fortune before the start of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815), and the family had gained preeminence in the bullion trade by this time. The five sons of Mayer Amschel Rothschild were elevated to the Austrian nobility by Emperor Francis I of Austria, and they were all granted the Austrian hereditary title of Freiherr on 29 September 1822. The British branch of the family was elevated by Queen Victoria, who granted the hereditary title of baronet and later the hereditary peerage title of Baron Rothschild .
May be very minimal identifying marks on the inside cover. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections. During the 19th century, the Rothschild family possessed the largest private fortune in the world, as well as in modern world history. The family's wealth declined over the 20th century, and was divided among many descendants. Today, their interests cover a diverse range of fields, including financial services, real estate, mining, energy, agriculture, winemaking, and nonprofits. Many examples of the family's rural architecture exist across northwestern Europe.
Withdrawn library book looks hardly used! This beautiful picture book is part of a series by Ann Morris that shows how people from many cultures experience the same human needs (others include Loving; Hats, Hats, Hats; Bread, Bread, Bread, and On the Go). While it is a little outadated in terms of how people are dressed in some cultures, for many of the examples, it probably has remained unchanged. In 1953, one Swiss member of the family, Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild (1926–1997), founded the LCF Rothschild Group which is based in Geneva, which today extends to 15 countries across the world. Although this Group is primarily a financial entity, specializing in asset management and private banking, its activities also cover mixed farming, luxury hotels and yacht racing.
The compelling feature of this book is the setting which changes with each photograph. Along with each picture is a generalization that could be applied to just about any culture, lifestyle or economic means. Sometimes it is a difference, sometimes it is a similarity. Houses that stay in one place and houses that move from place to place. Some houses are made of wood or stone; others are made from mud or straw. But all of them are made for families to live in.
M. Rothschild & Sons of London joined with other investors to acquire the Spanish government's money-losing Rio Tinto copper mines. The new owners restructured the company and turned it into a profitable business. By 1905, the Rothschild interest in Rio Tinto amounted to more than 30 percent. In 1887, the French and British Rothschild banking houses loaned money to, and invested in, the De Beers diamond mines in South Africa, becoming its largest shareholders. The item is very worn but continues to work perfectly.
Photographer Ken Heyman's and author Ann Morris' views of Houses and Homes around the world will help youngsters appreciate that the perfect place for families is whatever works best. Whether built for many or a few, resting firmly upon a foundation or floating free with the tide, in a neighborhood or alone, the more our homes differ, the more they are the same. A simple discussion of different kinds of houses and what makes them homes. Your contribution will help us to provide free books and literacy resources to children across the nation.
