Description
Non-traditional text in Hungarian with much use of Hebrew. Profusely illustrated. Final leaf signed by Tzvi Cohn and Moshe Steiner.
summary
For such a primitive production, this localized Hagadah has high artistic and design standards.
The illustrations that depict the immigration to Eretz Israel by Jews recently freed from Nazi terror are indeed 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).
