This Passover Haggadah was printed for members of Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha in the Spring of 1947. It is a non-traditional Haggadah which includes texts and illustrations about life in the ghettos and concentration camps of Europe; it also touches on the difficult period of illegal immigration to Palestine. For many years, Passover was seen as the main holiday on the kibbutz. The Passover Seder, with the theme of redemption at its center, became the most important event of the year and kibbutzim often created their own versions of the Haggadah text.
