The documentation related to the management of the Community's assets covers the period from 1945 to 1969, but it is incomplete.
Since the assets of Jewish Communities consisted (and still consist) of real estate (various buildings, synagogues, cemeteries) and moveable property (see art 20 of the Falco Law and Article 31 of the Statute of 1987) the series contains files on the management of the leases of the apartments in Villa Jarach, villa of Mestre-Chirignano, Villa Faraggiana, Villa Bortoluzzi and Lambro coast, an agreement with the company Giardini della Guastalla for the sharing of the common courtyard, inventories of moveable property belonging to the community of Milan located in the offices, in the Temple, in the canteen of via Unione 5 and in via Guastalla 19.
Items of note are the presence of cadastral data of the building in via Lamarmora, a typed copy of Giulio Zamatto's last will of 15 June 1954 with the corresponding deed of deposit and publication of the holographic will on 19 July 1954, draft contracts for lorries, stock certificates, provisional stock certificates (1928) and reports to the EGELI for the administrative management of requests for regulation of outstanding practices related to the management of assets confiscated during the period of racial persecution.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Community of Milan, with its origins as a section of Mantua’s Community, developed around the middle of the 19th century, following the arrival of numerous Mantuan Jews who fled the violent antisemitic demonstrations of 1842. In Milan, without a real official and organised community, the relations with the mother community were governed by the Austrian civil code, according to which smaller communities must refer to the larger ones. Only in 1855 was the Jewish Consortium established, the first Jewish organisation in Milan, which in 1866 broke away from Mantua. The consortium did not assume the legal characteristics dictated by the Rattazzi law but reaffirmed its nature as a voluntary association with the only commitment for the members being the contributions for its maintenance. Thanks to the sudden economic, industrial and commercial development of Milan, the community grew rapidly: in 1890 it had 2,000 members, in the 1930s 8,000 Jews arrived from Piedmont, Marche, Tuscany and Veneto but also from Germany and from Central and Eastern Europe. In October 1930 the Council of Ministers approved the Royal Decree 1731, the new law on the Jewish communities and on the Union of the Italian Jewish Communities. A few days after the approval of the decree, Federico Jarach was elected the first president of the Jewish Community of Milan. In 1938 on the eve of antisemitic laws, the Community of Milan had just 5,000 members out of a total Jewish population of about 8,000 people. At the end of the Second World War, the Community of Milan became a crossing point for many refugees and survivors of the Nazi concentration camps, collaborating with relief organisations such as the Joint, ADEI-WIZO, the ORT, and UNRRA using the building of via Unione 5 as the main reception, research and sorting centre for Jews returning from concentration camps. In the 1950s the community welcomed groups of Jews from Egypt, Syria, Libya, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran who settled in Milan because they were fleeing the Arab-Israeli wars, giving rise to an integration process that changed the original face of the Milanese community. Today it includes the districts of Como, Pavia, Sondrio and Varese.
