Description

Mimeographed text with hand-colored illustrations.

summary

The abbreviated Hagadah text is punctuated with reflections upon both Biblical and contemporary world events. The illustrations contrast the Nazi oppression of the Jews of Europe with the vim and vigor of the youth of 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. Once Germany was defeated members of the Jewish Brigade were actively involved in the Berichah Movement, assisting the survivors of the Holocaust traverse Europe and reach the Land of Israel.
