1. הגדה די היטליר and Hagadah di Hiṭler
- Curatorial Notes:
- “Wicked Hitler enslaved us and the Allied Forces rescued us with a great and mighty outstretched arm. Had the Brits not come, nor the Yanks, we would not have been saved…” (Trans. by Adi and Jonnie Schnytzer). Written in Morocco during the war, it is jarring to see the word “Hitler” in Hebrew – היטליר – splashed on the cover of a Haggadah. The Judeo-Arabic text follows the structure of a traditional Haggadah, but tells the story of the war up to 1943, focusing on North Africa. It employs colorful language to laud the Allies and mock the Germans, its publication therefore an act of bravery and activism as the war still raged.
