In this photo taken Wednesday, April 13, 2016, Eli Barzilai holds a copy of the Birds' Head Haggadah in his house in Jerusalem. Barzilai and his cousins, the grandchildren of one of the earliest Jewish victims of the Nazis, are laying claim to a jewel of Israel's leading museum: the world's oldest surviving illustrated Passover manuscript. The descendants of a German Jewish lawmaker say the famed Birds' Head Haggadah, a medieval copy of the text read around Jewish dinner tables on Passover, was stolen from their family during the Nazi era and sold without their consent to the predecessor of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem 70 years ago.
