Press Review

The article describes how thousands of Jewish books looted by the Nazis from the Jewish Theological Seminary in Budapest during the Second World War are slowly being returned decades later - including a particularly valuable copy that was recently ceremoniously handed over in New York. The return of these works is symbolic of international cooperation in the restoration of looted Jewish cultural assets and the preservation of Jewish memory.
