Written in the style of the Book of Esther, this pamphlet recounts Hitler's conquest of Europe, most notably France, and toasts Churchill's dogged determination to stand up to the German aggressor. On July 14, 1940 (Bastille Day), in a BBC broadcast from London, Churchill stated: "I proclaim my faith that some of us will live to see a fourteenth of July when a liberated France will once again rejoice...When the day dawns, as dawn it will..." - translated here as: "Od Tizrach Hashemesh VehaNitzachon bo Yavo."
