Haggadah for Passover Illustrated by Ben Shahn, Historical Notes by Cecil Roth Paris and London: Trianon Press, 1966 Lithuanian-born graphic artist Ben Shahn (1898-1969) originally created many of the illustrations for this Haggadah around 1930, while working on a pictorial representation of the Dreyfus case and producing his celebrated series of paintings of the Sacco and Vanzetti trial. Shahn’s Haggadah illustrations, like those for his secular works, highlight the struggle against oppression, a theme central to the story of Passover. In 1965 Shahn reproduced these Passover drawings, which had already been acquired by the Jewish Museum, incorporating them into this extraordinary Haggadah. In the introduction, Shahn says of his Haggadah that "it reflects my memories of the Passover in my father's house. It reflects my early impressions and feelings; the images that were always invoked in my fancy by the majestic and meaningful ritual."
