With: “Supplication For Our Surviving Bretheren in and From Nazi Lands;” and “Memorial Prayer For the Victims of Mass Massacres.” In Hebrew and English.

summary

“To my brethren: On Friday next, Passover joy will enter every Jewish home. In recent years, the rejoicings have been increasingly overcast by the agony of Israel in Nazi lands. The Jews of Europe have been reduced to a [sic] worse than Egyptian slavery and we are filled with dismay at the little that has been accomplished in rescuing them from torture and butchery. It is our sacred duty to remember them on our Festival of Freedom, as we solemnly call to mind the millions of our flesh and blood who have been done to death with appalling cruelty at the behest of the fiendish tyrant.”
pp. (4). Folds, neat taped repair. 8vo.
