Two photographs of Jewish soldiers in the US Navy during the Pesach Seder. In one of the photographs, the soldiers are seen eating matzah on the seder table. In the other, the soldiers are seen holding the Passover Haggadah that was issued especially for the Jewish soldiers who served in the United States Army during the war. Both photographs are signed on the back with an ink stamp of "SUB-LABORATORY CAMP FORREST, TENNESSEE"/ The Haggadah printed for the soldiers.

Also attached is the Haggadah itself that appears in the photo: The Haggadah of passover for members of the armed forces of the United States, New York 1945 (first printed in 1943). At the beginning of the Haggadah is a special dedication by the Jewish Council to the US Navy that summarizes 3000 years of Jewish struggles. At the end of the Haggadah are the signatures of Jewish soldiers.
