The Polish text of this illustrated Haggadah was translated by Chanan Netzer and the Polish introduction and commentaries were written by Chaim Aron Kaplan (1880–1942) a pioneering pedagogue of Hebrew in Warsaw who perished in the Holocaust. Kaplan began a personal diary as early as 1933; however, at the beginning of World War II, he decided to devote all his efforts to preserving a record for posterity of the calamities befalling the Jews. Rediscovered after the war, Kaplan’s diaries are a vastly important record of the experiences of the author and the ghetto community.
