Mimeographed Hebrew text. Illustrated

Unrecorded by both Yudlov and Yaari

AN UNLISTED HAGADAH. Issued for the Hebrew Transport and Supply Unit of the Jewish Brigade, based in Italy. The abbreviated Hagadah text is punctuated with reflections upon early and contemporary Jewish historical times: The Spanish Inquisition, the commemoration of the sixth Passover Seder since the onset of the World War, the horror of the German extermination of the Jews and the hope for a brighter future in Eretz Israel. The Jewish Brigade was the only military unit in the Allied forces to serve in World War II as an independent, National Jewish unit.
