"Memorial for Those Martyred in Poland" – "El Maleh Rachamaim" Prayer, Written in the Midst of the Holocaust
"Memorial for those martyred in Poland during the months Tamuz to Kislev 1942-1943" (Hebrew), a leaflet. Publisher and year not indicated. [Palestine, 1943?].
A version of the "El Maleh Rachamim" (God Full of Mercy) prayer in memory of Holocaust victims – "The thousands upon thousands souls of Israel … that were killed … in the countries occupied by the Nazis … Poland, Austria, Bulgaria, Belgoium, Bukovina, Servia, Galicia, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Czechoslovakia, France, Occupied Russia, and the other countries occupied by the enemy" (Hebrew). The prayer was presumably written during Operation Reinhard, subsequent to hundreds of thousands of Jews being sent from the Warsaw Ghetto to the extermination camps ("The Grossaktion").
The printed text was vowelized hand (in pen).
Approx. 13X16 cm. Good condition. Fold lines. Creases and minor blemishes. A small tear to edge.
