Torah Cover That Survived Nazis Returns to New York Family
Marilyn Henry reports on a Torah cover returned to its rightful owners after being lost in Nazi-era Austria in this week’s RNS full text article, linked above.

The Wesel Torah cover is the second prominent Jewish ritual object to be returned in five years. Much attention has been focused on the recovery of artworks that were looted from Jewish families during the Nazi era, but more needs to be devoted to ceremonial and ritual objectsâÂ?¦.
