Rare Hagadah printed for the Seder held for Allied soldiers at Munich’s Deutsches Theatre Restaurant, April 15-16, 1946 - the first Passover since the fall of Nazi Germany. “...They felt very close to all that was narrated. Pharoah and Egypt gave way to Hitler and Germany. Pitham and Ramses faded beneath fresh memories of Buchenwald and Dachau.” (Introduction)
