Hagadah shel Pesach. Issued for members of “Ha’oved HaKibbuci Dror Habonim” in Hungary.

(HAGADAH).

(Hungary)

(1946)

Non-traditional text, in Hungarian with much use of Hebrew. Profusely illustrated. Final leaf signed by Tzvi Cohn and Moshe Steiner.

For such a primitive production, this localized Hagadah has high artistic and design standards. The illustrations depict the immigration to Eretz Israel by Jews recently freed from Nazi terror as a direct historical continuation of the Biblical Exodus from Egypt. Both Nazi as well as British officers are depicted as a source of terror to refugees. Unrecorded by Aviram Paz, Rare Passover Haggadahs from the 1940s (2015).
