"You know, Chaim, there is something of value we still own. We still have Elijah's silver wine cup. Don't you think you should pawn it so that we can at least buy matza, wine and potatoes?"...

Only Big Jim, trying to maintain his defiance, stepped forward. He blurted, "The Jews poisoned one of their field hands to use his blood for their ritual celebration tonight!"

The head of the camp's "political division" asked me if I was still abstaining from working on Sabbaths and not eating the meals served from the camp kitchen. Then she asked, "What is matza?"

"Stop them! Stop them!" yelled the huge crowd, ready to overwhelm the soldiers by the sheer weight of their large numbers. But the Baal Shem Tov signaled them to allow the soldiers to pass through.

A group of survivors planned to celebrate Passover properly for the first time since their liberation. It would be observed in the old-fashioned way, which they remembered from way back...
