A Jewish museum in Tulsa held a funeral for remains of Holocaust victims it kept for years

JL;DR SUMMARY The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma, recently provided a proper Jewish burial for the remains of several unidentified Holocaust victims that it had held for years.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
