State Dept. seeking ways to keep access open to Iraqi Jewish Archive | Jewish Telegraphic Agency

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The U.S. State Department is seeking avenues to make the Iraqi Jewish Archive continually accessible to Iraqi Jews living outside the country.

Until now, the State Department had been adamant that the archive, transferred to the United States for expert restoration, be returned to Iraq in June.

A statement sent to JTA on Monday by the State Department’s press office said the “sensitivities” surrounding the archive were spurring the department to seek alternatives.
