Report of the Jewish Community Leadership, Bookkeeping and Accounting

Description

This is the report of the Baghdadi Jewish community leadership including bookkeeping and accounting from 4/1/1949 to 1/31/1953. It discusses the affects of the policies regarding abrogation of Iraqi citizenship and contains detailed accounting records of income and expenses of the Frank Iny and Shamash Secondary Schools. The documents mostly address a proposal raised from within the Jewish Lay Council to cancel tuition to the Frank Iny and Shamash Secondary Schools due to the dire financial situation experienced by many Baghdadi Jewish families.
