Passover Haggada, non-traditional text - kibbutz-style. [c. 1950?]. Unknown haggada.

Specifications: [32] pages. Jacket title page, 16x21.5 cm. Printed by stencil. Hebrew and Dutch. The Haggada opens from left to right. Most of the haggada is in Dutch.

Unique features: The Haggada opens with the traditional verse "HaChodesh hazeh lachem..." with the inclusion of "Hayom hayitem l'am" [today you became a nation], followed by the traditional "Ha Lachma Anya" with the text "Hashta anachnu geulei Yisrael" [we are now redeemed in Israel]... The Dutch section includes poems by H.N. Bialik and Nathan Alterman. Page [24] features a "Yizkor" in memory of those killed in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, those that fell protecting the borders of Israel, those murdered in ambush, or those who fell in the enemy's prison or in captivity.
