• הגדה של פסח.
• Hagadah Shel Pesaḥ.

Curatorial Notes:

• This illustrated Haggadah was published by Jewish soldiers who volunteered to fight with the British. It includes the traditional Haggadah text along with supplementary readings. It calls for revenge against the Nazis, comparing them to the Biblical Amalekites, who attacked the Israelites after the Exodus. Parts of this Haggadah are specifically reserved for recitation by women, making it a rare source that documents the role of women in Jewish resistance during the war.
