Passover Haggadah – "Dror” Movement – German Diaspora, 1947

Passover Haggadah, published by "Dror” [movement], German Diaspora [probably Munich], 1947. Hebrew and Yiddish.
Non-traditional Haggadah, printed for members of the Zionist-Socialist movement "Dror" in Germany, after the Holocaust. During the war, the movement’s members infiltrated into Warsaw, acted in the occupied German zone in Poland and in the Ghettos, continued to run a training farm, were among the founders of the Jewish Combat Organization, and participated in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and in actions of resistance in other Polish cities.
The Haggadah contains photocopies from another non-traditional Haggadah (Hebrew) with additional interesting texts concerning current affairs, all dealing with the Holocaust (Yiddish): a text titled “Fruehling” [spring], an alternative version of “Ma Nishtana” about the holocaust, passages from Yitzchak Katzenelson’s poem “I Dreamt an Atrocious Dream” (composed in Vittel concentration camp in France, in 1943, about one year before the poet was murdered in Auschwitz), a text about Yitzchak (Antek) Zuckermann and Zvia Lubatkin (“Dror” and Jewish Combat Organization members), a poem by Morris Rosenfeld (“Undzer Shif” – Our Boat) and other texts about the Holocaust and heroism.
