Non-traditional Haggadah, in Hebrew and Hungarian, with many illustrations (illustrations by "Zvi Cohen - Moshe Steiner", signed in the plate on the last page).

The British are portrayed in one illustration as an enemy in the form of a snake with flags of Britain on its back, climbing up a pole on which appears the flag of Israel.
A handwritten dedication appears on the title page: "To Hannah – from 'Dror Habonim', 'Haoved Hakibbuci', Eve of Pesach 1947".
