The certificate is signed by hand by Yaakov Doubinski and Lazar (Eliezer) Berson, "on behalf of the Jewish committee of Dubouchage in Nice" [Comité Dubouchage in Nice].
A lion supporting a pole is seen to the right of the dedication; on top of the pole is a round flag with a Star of David and a Menorah. around the dedication appear Illustrations symbolizing the atrocities which the Jews went through and the anticipated consolation: a bird of prey with a swastika around its neck attacking a Jew with its claws, memorial candles on the background of a Tallith, the Western Wall, Bat Zion sailing to the shores of Palestine, and the synagogue on Dubouchage street in Nice, where the Jewish committee that awarded this certificate held its activities. All of the above are surrounded by a frame decorated with a vegetal pattern and chains, and on the bottom, in two medallions, the year – "1944".
"Comité Dubouchage" was a relief organization for Jewish refugees active in Nice, in the south of France, in the early 1940s. The organization was founded and headed by merchant and activist Yaakov Doubinski. Together with Jewish Italian banker Angelo Donati and others, Doubinski was active in providing documents and residences for thousands of Jews from the Nice area.

Berson was born in Kupiškis (near Kovno), and studied art in St. Petersburg and in Paris. He arrived in London in 1914, and later founded there the "Ben Uri" gallery in order to exhibit and nurture Jewish art. His own art was often inspird by Jewish folk motifs.

A broadside issued by the "The Union of Rabbis in Austria A.Z. [American Zone], by the Central Jewish Committee". Mimeographed manuscript. Stamped with the official stamp of the Union. Salzburg, the eve of Rosh Chodesh Sivan, 1947.
A broadside issued by the Union of Rabbis in Austria, announcing the 20th of Sivan as a "day of repentance, prayer and charity and a fast until 13:30 by saying Selichot for the 20th of Sivan after the morning prayer, A.M. [Avinu Malkeinu] and Psalms" (Hebrew). The broadside announces the 20th of Sivan as the Yahrzeit for those of She'erit Hapletah whose relatives' death dates are unknown. Stamped with the official stamp of the "Union of Rabbis in central Austria – in Salzburg".
At the end of World War II, there was a disagreement among European rabbis as to whether to announce a special day to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. Among those objecting to the idea were the Rebbes of Gur and Belz, Rabbi Yitzchok Zev Halevi Soloveitchik and the Chazon Ish, who claimed that in our generation it is not permitted to announce a new permanent fast. The rabbis of Hungary and Austria announced the 20th of Sivan as a day of fast, claiming that this day had traditionally been a day of fasting among the Jews of Poland, commemorating the riots of 1648 (the Cossack riots).
[1] leaf, approx. 21X30 cm. Good condition. Fold lines and minor creases. Stains (slightly browned margins). Several tears to edges.

Haggadah di Hitler, by Nissim ben Shimon. Work in the format of the Judeo-Arabic translation of the Passover Haggadah. [Rabat, 1943?]. Judeo-Arabic.
A short work in the format of the sharh (the Judeo-Arabic) version of the Passover Haggadah, recounting the story of the liberation of North Africa by the Allies and the saving of the Jews from the Nazis and their puppet regimes – the Vichy government and Mussolini's rule.
In Morocco and Algiers, the Vichy government imposed racial laws and Jews were put to forced labor; Algerian Jews were sent to concentration and extermination camps; Tunis was under German occupation and Jews were sent to extermination camps; in Libya, under the rule of Italy, racial laws were enacted and the Jews suffered persecution and humiliations, were arrested and sent to forced labor camps and concentration camps. With the liberation of these countries by the Allies, racial laws were repealed and camp prisoners released. During this period, several popular compositions in the same vein were published in North Africa, including "Meauda Filchan di Mi Kamocha ala Hitlir" [The Scroll of Hitler] documenting the war and the liberation.
In this haggadah, the author briefly refers to the Jews' suffering during the war. On the other hand, the military aspect of the war is described extensively from the North-African perspective. The author especially stresses the activity of the French Resistance Movement and the figure of Charles de Gaulle, president of Free France, as a redeemer and liberator. The author describes de Gaulle using haggadic terms referring to the redemption of the Jewish people by God himself: "And General de Gaulle brought us out, not by war, and not by Laval, and not by Doriot, but General de Gaulle himself by his power. As it is said 'I will pass through the land of France'".
The passages of the Haggadah begin and end with the same words beginning and ending the parallel passage in the Judeo-Arabic Haggadah. On occasions, the author's sense of humor surfaces, such as when Rabbi Jose the Galilean of the Haggadah is replaced by "Rabbi Joseph Stalin".

In Pe'amim 114-115, North African Jewry during World War II. Editor: Avriel Bar-Levav. Jerusalem: Ben Zvi Institute for the Study of Jewish Communities in the East, 2008. pp. 137-196.

Passover Haggadah, the Hebrew Scouts Movement in Israel, "Meshotetei BaCarmel" (The Carmel Scouts) group, "Massu'ot" troop. (1949).
Photocopy edition of a handwritten and illustrated Passover Haggadah. The Haggadah first addresses the spring festival and the exodus from Egypt, quoting the Book of Exodus, Song of Songs and poets such as Rachel, Shaul Tchernichovsky and Shimshon Meltzer. The Haggadah then moves on to commemorate the Holocaust and celebrate the illegal and legal immigration and the revival of the Jewish people on their land and the ethos of building the nation and humankind by labor. This part describes at length the heroism of the fighters and defenders of the settlements during the War of Independence, they whose "strength was not only the strength of their weapons; their strength was the strength of the people on whose mission they were sent […] the strength of the people, the strength of the army, the strength of a fighting camp can never be measured only by the power of its weapon. Its strength is measured by the richness of spirit, the extent of its willpower, in the sense of truth and the intensity of its ideals" (Hebrew, p. 23).
These ideas are reflected in the illustration on the cover of the Haggadah, depicting a fighter carrying a weapon and a farmer holding a scythe.
The "Meshotetei BaCarmel" group of the Hebrew Scouts Movement, the first scout tribe established in Palestine, was established in Haifa in 1925.
[1], 28, [1] pp. (including the cover), 24 cm. Good condition. Stains. Pencil inscriptions, including comments for leading the Seder. The cover is re-sewn and mounted to the first leaf and the last leaf along the spine.
Provenance: The Rimon Family Collection.
