The Story of the Sarajevo Haggadah
Bright watercolor illustrations follow the true story of a book’s remarkable journey through generations and across multiple wars. In Spain in 1350, a Jewish bride and groom are gifted a handpainted Haggadah, a text that guides the Passover Seder. The Spanish Inquisition forces the family to flee, and the Haggadah travels across countries and through countless families. People of all cultures and faiths come together to protect the book from Nazi invasions, Serbian bombs, and the passage of time.
