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, were active in the German occupation zone in Poland and in the Ghettos, continued to run a training camp, 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 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 (members of Dror and the Jewish Combat Organization), a poem by Morris Rosenfeld ("Undzer Shif" – Our Boat) and other texts about the Holocaust and heroism.
[40] pp, 20.5 cm. Good condition. Slight creases. Tear at margins of front cover and tears to spine. Bottom part of front cover is slightly darkened.
