Description
The archive includes papers and documents of the Sassoon family. The Sassoon family, known as "Rothschilds of the East" due to the great wealth they accumulated in trade, is of Baghdadi Jewish descent and international renown. It was based in Baghdad, Iraq, before moving to Bombay, India, and then spreading to China, England, and other countries. It is said that the family descended from the Shoshans, one of the families of the Iberian Peninsula. From the 18th century, the Sassoons were one of the wealthiest families in the world, with a merchant empire spanning the continent of Asia -- from Wikipedia.;מסמכים של משפחת ששון, משפחת סוחרים עשירה מבגדד, הידועה כ"רוטשילדים של המזרח". הארכיון כולל תעודות ורשימות של בני משפחת ששון.
