What to do with the Iraqi Jewish Archive?

Article: When the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, 2700 documents from the Iraqi Jewish community were found in the basement of the Iraqi Intelligence building. They were collected and brought to Washington, D.C. 24 of these documents are currently on display through January 2014. The question is what happens when the exhibit is over. The U.S. plans on returning them to Iraq, due to a signed agreement it made with Iraq. Jewish organizations contest that they should be returned to Iraqi Jews, as the documents were originally confiscated from an Iraqi synagogue in 1984 by Saddam Hussein and belong to Iraqi Jews, not the Government of Iraq.

Discussion:

• What do you think are types of documents in the collection? (Ketubot, contracts) Why were they in the synagogue? (Likely in the Geniza, where documents with God's name are stored)
• Why are these documents important? What can these documents tell us about Iraqi Jewish society? 
• Why are Jews afraid of the documents being returned to Iraq? What will likely happen to them? 
• What are the legal arguments for and against returning them? (Signed agreement v. who is the rightful owner)
