A non-traditional Haggadah with illustrations and texts dealing with the Holocaust of European Jews and the immigration to Eretz Israel several months before the declaration of independence. Kibbutz Givat Brenner, 1947.

At the beginning of the Haggadah, spring poems and passages of reading, followed by a section dealing with the attempts to immigrate to the Land of Israel in ships that were blocked by the British in 1947: "Those lost in the sea and struggling with the waves of despair and terror will come to the land...if ships are now lost in the sea with Jewish refugees in them, they will come to the land , to the land of their national home and they will be with us... Over the years, the flag bearers of the Jewish plight have been abandoned...". after that under the title "The refugee is coming" appears a section dealing with the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust, a call for the rescue of the survivors, and a call for revenge:
"The announcer is coming and with him Millions of shadows entered, and with him walked a long procession of the slaughtered, the tortured and the saints... our fathers who were slaughtered, our mothers who were tortured, our sisters and brothers who were strangled, our fathers who were burned alive... in the darkness of the ghettos... every hour of life, every moment is sacred, sacred for salvation. for the salvation of the last...” , and more.

[30] p. 23 cm. Wine stains on the cover, as well as on the page "Shfoch Hamatcha" probably due to the customary spilling of wine when saying this passage. overall condition good.
