‘By Passover, the war was safely over and the men were rejoicing at their imminent return home’
Passover 1919 in Paris:
‘Most striking was the great Seder at Paris, with its crowd of American, Australian, English, French and Italian soldiers, some of them former prisoners in Germany, all of them united in the great occasion of their faith. Among the speakers and the guests of honor were some of the great leaders of Jewry, France and America, as well as many celebrities. At that time, and in that place, the highest honor for any man was to worship and eat side by side with our soldiers.’
