"Mishloach Manot… 570" (Hebrew), a handwritten booklet made for the festival of Purim and presented to the head of the Lodz Ghetto Judenrat, Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski. [Lodz], 1941. The booklet, presumably made by a resident of the Lodz Ghetto, contains several word plays in the spirit of Purim: the author's name (Ya'akov Brickman) encoded within a verse written on the title page; seven blessings arranged in the form of a star of David; an acrostic poem with the first letters of the lines spelling the Hebrew name"Mordechai Chaim Rumkowsk". An inscription on the title page reads"From the yeshiva students, [?]irska 43/45" [4] leaves (two sheets folded in half, stapled to form a booklet). Approx. 30.5 cm.
