The First Haggadah Printed in Danish

Date: 1922    Country: Denmark    City: Copenhagen (published in Berlin)

The author of this first translation of the Haggadah into Danish was Marcus Melchior, (1897–1969) the chief rabbi of Denmark. Although there were a small amount of Hebrew books printed in Copenhagen at the time, this first Haggadah in Danish was published in Berlin, which at that time was a significantly larger center of Hebrew printing.
