Baron Anschel [Amschel] Rothschild (1873-1955) is the eldest son of Meir Rothschild of Frankfurt, the forefather of the famous banker family. Anschel perpetuated his father's business in Frankfurt while the rest of his brothers established branches of the family bank in European capitals (London, Paris, Vienna and Naples). Anschel (also called Anschel Meir after his father) was very active on behalf of his Jewish brethren and was renowned for his philanthropic activities and the great amounts of money he dispersed to charity. He was close to the court of the Austrian emperor who granted him the title "Baron" in 1822.
