Why the Iraqi Jewish Archive Belongs in America | Jewish & Israel News Algemeiner.com
When I
last wrote
about the archive of Jewish treasures from Iraq rescued by U.S. forces
in Baghdad in 2003, I noted that the prevalent opinion among Iraqi
Jews—a community from which I hail on my father’s side—was that the
books, photographs, scrolls, writings, and communal documents in this
extraordinary collection should remain in America, rather than being
returned to Iraq. I then argued that while his view couldn’t be faulted
on legal or moral grounds, I nonetheless wished that the situation were
different, and that Iraq could celebrate its Jewish heritage in the
manner that European countries like Poland and Germany do with theirs.
