D'après la forme narative et textuelle de la haggada de Pessah. Le texte raconte l'histoire de la 2ième guerre mondiale en mettant l'accent sur les plaies que les alliés ont fait subir aux armées nazies.

“One of the most exotic of Haggadah parodies...Ref lecting the joy of
Moroccan Jewry at their liberation from an oppresive [Vichy] regime, the
parody is exuberant to the point of allowing every possible license with the
traditional text. The cast of characters runs riot. Of the Four Sons, the Wise
Son is - “the English.” The Wicked Son is, of course, Hitler. The Simple Son
(with no pejorative implications intended) is interpreted as “the Americans.”
And “he who knows not what to ask” is Mussolini. Rabbi Eleazar is Roosevelt,
Rabbi Yosi the Galilean is Stalin, and Rabbi Akiba is General Montgomery. The
verse “And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt” is reserved for General de Gaulle
himself!"
