Education Paris , 1873 During my many extended visits to Turkey , I was shocked and saddened to see the ignorance and poverty that prevail among the Jews living throughout that ( Ottoman ) Empire . Signs of progress and improvement can be seen everywhere in Turkey , but the Jews barely enjoy them due to their poverty and lack of education . The most effective remedy for this grievance is to instruct and educate the youth . ( Excerpt from a letter from Baron Maurice de Hirsch ) Background Information Baron Maurice de Hirsch ( 1831-1896 96 )) Baron Maurice de Hirsch was a German Jew who lived in France for many years . He donated large sums of money to help Jews around the world . During his visit to Turkey , the Baron was outraged by the condition of the Jews and decided to help improve their status in Turkey and in other eastern countries . Each year Baron de Hirsch donated the huge sum of 50 , 000 francs to this cause enough money to fund a new building .
