- Seder ritual of remembrance : for the six million Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis and for the heroes of the ghettos uprisings / issued by Seder Ritual Committee
- Curatorial Notes:
-
- “On this night of the [Passover] Seder we remember with reverence and love the six million[] of our people…who perished at the hands of a tyrant more wicked than the Pharaoh who enslaved our fathers in Egypt.” This pamphlet was meant to be inserted into the traditional Passover Haggadah. Its text memorializes the Warsaw ghetto uprising, which it notes occurred on Passover. It compares those who fought in Warsaw to Judah the Maccabee, the military leader of the successful Jewish uprising against the ancient Greeks celebrated on Hanukkah. This short text therefore connects three examples of Jewish resistance, those of Passover, Hanukkah, and the Warsaw ghetto.
