The Manhattan D.A. recently issued a criminal seizure warrant for 'Girl With Black Hair' in the possession of Oberlin College's Allen Museum. Court records in a civil case reveal that the college has been fighting at least since 2006 against return of the drawing. This is in contrast to the college's repatriation of an item of Native American craft returned to the Nez Perce tribe in 2002. Are items stolen from Jews during the Holocaust less worthy of return than items obtained from Native American tribes?
