Non-traditional haggada. Kibbutz Yagur, 1945

Non-traditional Haggada. Reproduced handwritten haggada with large illustrations.

The haggada opens with original songs about the spring. It also includes texts that mention the Holocaust: "Like this day that there was never like it for evil since the time that we went into exile. A day of non-stop fears and a lack of confidence in continued life for the survivors, a day that is entirely like a sacrifice - like this day - the day the person was sold to the king,  gentle souls rot from the servitude and the fetters of oppression, and the boors and evil rule over all....if our hands are too short to save they are taken to death...."

With texts fortifying the survivors who immigrated to Eretz Yisrael: "We the survivors are responsible for the remnant of Israel. There are no other soulders to carry them. There is no other back for them to hide behind. In the exile, a man of Israel faced Zion. In Zion, a person of Israel must face the falling Israel..." and more.
