“There are tens of thousands of Hebrew documents which Iraq looted when the bustling Jewish community of the country was persecuted and thrown out in the 1930s and 1940s,” explained Roni Segal, academic adviser for The Israel Institute of Biblical Studies, a company which teaches Hebrew language and Biblical studies online, to *Breaking Israel News*. “We are grateful to the US, under the auspices of the National Archives in Washington, DC, for restoring and digitizing these artifacts.” Iraqi officials and other advocates want the archive returned to Iraq, as per the original agreement. They claim that the documents would be used as educational tools for Iraqis to learn about their country’s history and about the Jewish people who used to live there. http://bit.ly/2x6xsdt http://bit.ly/2x6xsdt+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
