The Wolloch Haggadah: Lithographs

The Haggadah is the Jewish book of ritual read at the Passover seder to tell the story of the miraculous biblical events of the Exodus from Egypt. Commissioned by Zygfryd B. and Helene Wolloch in memory of their parents, this edition of the Haggadah juxtaposes some of the themes of the Exodus story with aspects of the Holocaust. The artists, illustrator David Wander and calligrapher Yonah Weinreb, find special commonality with slavery, violence, and redemption. Wander depicts crematoria, burning books, and the Star of David interspersed in the traditional Hebrew text of the Haggadah. He also includes beautiful borders, flowers, and the Israeli flag to symbolize the coming freedom of the Jewish people. The drawings contain no human figures, signifying the absence of those who perished during the Holocaust. This hand-printed portfolio of lithographs consists of 55 prints signed and numbered by the artist, 36 of which are on display, and can be read in order from right to left. Simple, yet direct, the imagery resonates with beauty and truth in its efforts to emphasize connection. A gift of Helene Wolloch and Andrea Eisinger Leeds (CAS’72) and family to Boston University Hillel’s permanent collection. Sponsored by the Jewish Cultural Endowment at Boston University.
