On the morning of March 12, 1970, in Hialeah, Florida, Harry F. Guggenheim set his signature on his last will and testament. Two months later, in New York City, he altered the will with a first codicil. With these two documents he provided for the distribution after his death of his share of the largest fortune ever amassed by a Jewish family in America, and the largest family fortune ever made from mining and metallurgy in history.
