Description

These are archival documents from the Baghdadi Jewish community, primarily related to Ḥevrah Ḳadishah, the Burial Society. They contain an Iraqi newspaper (al-Tākhay) with an advertisement selling the Ḥevrah Ḳadishah's car because the government froze the society’s assets. Also included are requests about assets from the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews to the government and an announcement in the official Iraqi newspaper (Al-Waqā’i‘ Al-‘Irāqiyah) about the Administrative Committee’s role.
