Hungarian Jews have asked Russia to return scrolls and valuable religious items
looted by Nazis and the Red Army in World War II and their claim has been backed

Some 300 to 400 Torah scrolls and thousands of vestments, crowns and other
articles are being held in museums and storage in Russia, said Slomo Koves,
executive rabbi of the Unified Hungarian Jewish Congregation.
