Passover Throughout The World

There are number of Jewish sects whose observance
and celebration OF Passover be considered exraOrd

base their Jewish life and their Bible was the Latin Bible
of the Catholic Church When to Passover they cee
brated it not as did the Jews of their time but did
those of Biblical days. They had notion whatever about
the development of Passover through the ages.
Jewish holidays reckOned by the general calendar
Thus Passover celebrated at the full of March,
However, when spies of the Inquisiion discovered this
was to change the date to the 10th of March,
Two days before Passover according to their peculiar
secuarewsh calendar the Marranos abstaned from eat

masterpieces.
The word seder literally means
"order of service"
In the Spitalfields section of
LOndOn's East End it was once
the custom for Jewish household
ers to present matzOth to their
nOn-Jewish neighbOrs on Passover
and to receive in return plum pud-
dings on Christmas.
Many Protestant clergymen in
the America of Colonial days
drew a parallel between George
III and Pharoah in their discourse

les against England, inferring that
the same providence of God that
rescued the Israelites from Egypt

Special Passover Seders Scheduled
For Jewish Men in Army and Navy

Special Passover Seders for
Jewish men in army posts and
naval stations are being arranged
through the Army and Navy Com
mittee of the Jewish Welfare
Board. Passover, commemorate
ing the liberation of the Jews
from bondage in Egypt, will be
celebrated this year for the week
beginning with shutdown, April
18th.
While a large number of men
will be able to observe the holi-
day in their own homes, because
of furloughs granted by the War
and Navy Departments, these spe-
cial Seders are being arranged in
adjacent communities for the men
who will have to remain in camp
or who are stationed too far away
from their homes. NATIONS (un-
leavened bread) and prayer books
are being provided by the Jewish
chaplains or local rabbis assoclat-
ed with the Army and Navy Com
mittee. Local committees are also
arranging for home hospitality IN
those communities where a pub
lie Seder service is not feasible.

First of the cities to feel the eff

The Chancellor had blamed "JeW-

statement to the German people
when it started in September,
1899. The same accusations were
made when the Nazis attacked
Norway, Holland and other cOun-

There are about $4,000 Jews in
Yugoslavia and $4,000 in Greece.
Last week, in expectation of the
German invasion, a large number
of the $4,000 Jews of zagreb-
largest Jewish community in Yu-
goslavia-had evacuated into the
interior, spurred by anonymous
telephoned threats in German to
Jewish leaders that there would
be a wholesale cleanup of Jews
once the German forces entered.

EVENTS IN FRANCE

An example of the growth OF
anti-Semitism that is inevitably a
result of German domination is
provided by the case of France,
where the helpless puppet regime
in the occupied zone gives indica-
ton of intensifying its anti-JeW-
ish measures.
Xavier Vallat, known as a re-
dictionary and an anti-Semite, has
been appointed Commissioner for
Jewish Affairs and has made it
clear that he will execute anti
Jewish laws severely. In a news
paper interview he expressed the
opinion that the Jewish problem
was one of foreigners attempting
to seize the reins of control of the
French people.
This is the man who, under the
Vlchy law, will have the response
Olllty of drafting all legislation
relating to Jews, fixing the date
OF liquidation of Jewish property
IN cases where this is ordered and
appointing receivers for Jewish
property.
Meanwhile, conditions in refugee
nternment centers go from bad
70 worse. In the Ours camp, where
!z,OOO refugees are held, it is
learned that 700 persons died dur
ing the winter, mainly because of
tne cold and the shortage of food.

administration to build comforta-
Die quarters for the officials and
