U.S. Army Chaplain (Maj.) Eli Bohnen, right, a rabbi serving with the 42nd Infantry Division in World War II, leads a seder service during the Jewish holiday of Passover in Dahn, Germany March 28, 1945, just over a month before the German surrender. Bohnen and his assistant Cpl. Eli Heimberg created a division Haggadah specifically for the Passover seder. The division Haggadah is believed to be the first Jewish ritual printing in Germany since the rise of the Nazis to power in 1933.
