A non-traditional Haggadah that published in Kibbutz Naan in the midst of the Holocaust. Most of the pages of the Haggadah contain harsh descriptions of the events of the Holocaust and the atrocities that befell the Jewish people in 1943 and in the years preceding it, lamentations about the martyrs, and passages expressing hope for the building of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel.
Thus, for example, in the text of "Ma Nishtana" add: "For what and why are our people killed and slaughtered and destroyed in the lands of the Diaspora, their blood shed, their honor inflicted, day by day and night by night, they will not spare a boy and old on child and a woman. Why will the world be silent and why will they not open the gates of our land so that we may receive our brethren in the shadow of our beam and until when? How long? ... When will the end come to evil and destruction and slavery, and our people will have a home ... ".
There is the text of "this day which has never been like it before", as well as text that opens with the words: "All of you" which describes on the one hand the destruction of European Jewry and on the other the desire to build and ascend the Land of Israel: "All of you ... see the rivers of blood that have not yet clotted ... the destruction ... of hunger and nakedness every street ..." Opposite to: "Salvation and refuge, ask for the possibility of salvation and refuge, ask for the means to embody the burden of the soul of the attainment of the land ... We will prepare for our sons a land, a land for the next, for future generations, for Namirov orphans (The reference is probably to the orphans of the Chisinau riots). after Twenty years, after fifty years, after a hundred years ... ".
Similarly, a text appears under the heading: "In the City of Killing" which describes the horrors of the Holocaust in a sharp and horrifying way: "We see ... human and black wounds that have no remedy anymore and will have no cure ... The spirits of the saints are, naked and desolate souls ... claiming insult and their eyes ask why? ... story on strangled human beings that was hung ... story on baby who found beside of his stabbing mother ... story on baby that his soul came out in "My Mother"!
A kind of lament appears: 'How did we bear all this' - "... to whom did tears weep ... we were orphaned ... night horrors and daily anxieties ...", followed by a long text under the title: "Revenge, revenge!" Expressing the desire to avenge the Nazis for their crimes.
The text "Yizkor" appears: "We will remember the rest of Israel in the killing place which still left the Nazi hell, remnants of sword, hunger, humility and terror" which ends with the hopes of returning to Eretz Israel: "Our houses are waiting for you, brothers. We did not build the house for ourselves alone. We are the survivors responsible for the rest of Israel ... '.' And from the silence ', and more.
Kibbutz Na'an was the first kibbutz established by the Tenuat HaNoar HaOved and the first to be established by youth who were born in Palestine. The kibbutz was founded on Sukkot, 1930, near the city of Rechovot. Its name was taken from the nearby Arab village, Na'ana.
