Lot 168
Kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta'ot - Neve-Ya'ar - Sumeiriya, 1949
Passover haggadah. Kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta'ot (Ghetto Fighters' Kibbutz), Neve-Ya'ar, Sumeiriya. [Editor: Yehezkel Raban]. 1949. Hebrew and Yiddish.
Non-traditional haggadah, with some illustrations.
The first haggadah of kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta'ot. Printed a few months after the kibbutz was founded on grounds near the British army camp Sumeiriya and on territory belonging to the village A-Samaria. "Neve-Ya'ar" is the former name of the moshav "Alonei Aba".
Befitting a haggadah printed for the use of partisans and ghetto fighters, it includes many original texts concerning the Holocaust in general and Polish Jewry in particular, descriptions of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (which occurred on Passover 1943) and texts and songs about the establishment of the State of Israel.
See: Zvika Dror, "The History of the Kibbutz in Narratives" (chapter 4, p. 8), on the Kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta'ot website (Hebrew).
