The Gurs Haggadah: Passover in Perdition

By Morgernstern Naomi Gutterman, Bella, Bella Gutterman, Naomi Morgernstern

Facsimile edition of a handwritten Passover Haggadah from the Gurs detention camp, where Jewish prisoners celebrated the Festival of Freedom behind barbed wire. Mortality was extremely high under inhuman conditions of freezing cold, quicksand, poor food and barracks that hardly provided shelter. In the summer of 1942, most of the inmates were transported to Drancy and from there to Auschwitz.
