Notes

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, acted in the occupied German zone in Poland and in the Ghettos, continued to run a training farm, 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 photos of another non-traditional Haggadah (Hebrew) with more interesting texts concerning current affairs , all to do with the Holocaust (Yiddish): a text titled "Fruehling" [spring], an alternative version of "Ma Nishtana", passages from Yitzchak Katzenelson's poem "I dreamt an Atrocious Dream" (composed in Vittel concentration camp in France in 1943, about a year before the poet was murdered in Auschwitz), text about Yitzchak (Antek) Zuckermann and Zvia Lubatkin ("Dror" members), a poem by Moris Rosenfeld ("Undzer Shif" – our boat) and other texts about the Holocaust and about heroism.
