Passover Haggadah written by Johanna - Ruth (Hansi) Dobschiner in 1944 while in hiding in the home of a priest in the Netherlands.

The Haggadah was written by Johanna - Ruth (Hansi) Dobschiner in April 1944, while she was in hiding in the Netherlands at the home of the Priest Bastiaan Jan Ader. When Passover approached Ruth skillfully prepared the Haggadah and handed it to Ader to share with Jews hidden at his parents' home. The first four pages of the Haggadah are missing, they were deliberately excluded because they contained the personal details of the girls in hiding: Marta de Lima and Henrietta Hyman (GanOr) were among those in hiding in Groningen at Ader's parents' home. In fear the Haggadah would fall into the hands of the Gestapo, the four pages were removed. After the war, Ader and his wife were recognized as "Righteous among the Nations". The Haggadah is a testament to the religious and spiritual activities of the hidden Jewish girls who wanted to celebrate the holiday even in hiding. The Haggadah also highlights Bastien Jan Ader's valiant nature, risking his life for others in the belief of the human right to freedom, just as Passover symbolizes freedom.
