U.S. Refuses to Return 7 Chabad Books to Russia
The U.S. officially refused in 2013 to return seven books from the so-called Schneerson Library, i.e., a collection of old Jewish books and manuscripts built by Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak Schneerson in the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th century, that were lent to it in 1994, said an attorney representing the Russian State Library and the Culture Ministry in a lawsuit against the U.S. Library of Congress at hearings at the Moscow Arbitration Court on Thursday.
