Non-traditional haggada. Kibbutz named for the Lochamei HaGeta'ot - Neve Ya'ar-Sumeiriya.
Passover Haggada. Kibbutz Lochamei HaGheta'ot, Neve Ya'ar, Al-Sumayriyya. Edited by Yechezkel Raban]. [1949]. Hebrew and Yiddish. Non-traditiona haggada, illustrations.
The first haggada of Kibbutz Lochamei HaGeta'ot. Printed just a few months after they captured the land, the land near the Sumeiriya British military camp, the lands of the Al-Sumayriyya village. Neve Ya'ar was the previous name of Moshav Alonei Abba. 
The Haggada includes many original texts regarding the Holocaust of European Jewry - with an emphasis on Polish Jewry.: "For naught every plan. They searched and found everyone, they reached into the basements, attics, the dust of the shelves, between the piles of garbage...many of us were shot on the spot...others were taken to die in terrible ways...all of you come out of Treblinka, Sobibor, and Oświęcim..."Descriptions of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (which occurred on Pesach 1943: "on Passover evening, 40,000 heroes went up from the rooftops of Warsaw, went down to the deep basements, loaded and tired, guns and knives...to the call of the rebellion..." Also includes texts and songs regarding the establishment of a Jewish State. Leaves 17, 22-23, include texts in Yiddish. Yiddish texts in kibbutz haggadot are very rare.
The jacket title page bears an impressive illustration of lit candles and Passover matzah with a woman breaking a wall in the background - expressing the strong desire to celebrate the holiday of freedom outside of the ghetto walls.
Not included in Steiner's list. His list includes a later haggda from this kibbutz, from 1954.
