Extent and Medium

More than 50 personal dossiers with several documents each.

Scope and Content

The files contain several personal dossiers of Jews who escaped from the Independent State of Croatia or German occupied Serbia to Dalmatia, then under Italian occupation. There are detailed information about the identity of the refugees, life and the escape-lines used to reach Dalmatia. The dossiers were produced by the Italian authorities in order to keep under control the Jewish refugees. Sometimes they were sent to Italy; in other cases they were kept in Dalmatia or sent to concentration camps in Portorè/Kraljevica and Arbe/Rab. The materials had been produced by Italian police in Dalmatia mostly in 1941 and 1942. It's not clear why they are preserved in the Archive of Yugoslavia, especially considering that the materials about Dalmatia are preserved in the Archives of Split (Croatia) or partially in the Military Archive of Serbia (Former Military Archive of Yugoslavia).
