Felix Moritz Warburg (14 January 1871 – 20 September 1937) was a German-born American banker. He was a member of the Warburg banking family of Hamburg, Germany.〔 ==Biography== He was a grandson of Moses Marcus Warburg, one of the founders of the bank, M. M. Warburg (in 1798). Felix Warburg was a partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. He married Frieda Schiff (see Warburg Family page) (3 February 1876 – 14 September 1958), daughter of Jacob Henry Schiff and Therese Loeb Schiff, on 19 March 1895, in New York. They had four sons, Frederick Marcus, Gerald Felix, Paul Felix and Edward Mortimer Morris and one daughter, Carola. All were active in community service.〔("Frieda Schiff" )〕 Warburg was an important leader of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, established to help the Jews in Europe in the period leading up to, and especially during, the Great Depression. Warburg actively raised funds in the United States on behalf of European Jews who faced hunger following World War I. As early as 1919, he was quoted in the ''New York Times'' discussing the dire situation of Jewish war sufferers.〔("Tells sad plight of Jews" ) ''New York Times'', 12 November 1919〕 Warburg and the Joint Distribution Committee were also instrumental in the 1930s after the global Great Depression following the crash of the New York stock exchange in 1929. He died on 20 September 1937 in New York City. He was buried in Salem Fields Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York City. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Felix M. Warburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
