One was in a time of war, the other in the first year of post-war peace, soon after we first learned of the extermination of European Jewry under Nazi occupation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1940, when I was fourteen years old, my parents, brother and I fled the fury of the German Blitz on London for the safety of a small village in Buckinghamshire, some fifty miles north-east of the capital.\u00a0 My father bought a house on High Street which, though small, was blessed with a large plot of land on which we could not only keep chickens, but also grow vegetables and fruit to supplement the comparatively meagre rations that were available at the local grocery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apart from ourselves, there were a few Jewish families among our fellow evacuees, almost all of whom came from the comparatively poor East End of London.\u00a0 Some of them were also refugees who escaped from Europe before the war.\u00a0 None were wealthy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My father took upon himself the task of organizing a minyan for the High Holidays and Shabbatot and, in 1944, also the hosting of the Seder night for some forty or so Jewish soldiers among those serving in an army camp on the outskirts of the village.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two days before Pesach, he announced to my mother that there were still thirty soldiers for whom he had not succeeded in finding hospitality. We ourselves would have to host them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94755\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94755\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94755\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alice-and-mom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alice-and-mom.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alice-and-mom-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Alice-and-mom-421x600.jpg 421w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alice and her mother, Perl, circa 1943.

Like Cinderella, they had to leave before midnight, leaving us glowing with gratification at their response to our welcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two years later, in 1946, when we were back in London, my father, who had been active in the Polish-Jewish Federation that was established some years earlier, was invited to attend the first anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Seder Night fell on a Monday.\u00a0 At noon on Sunday, he phoned from Paris to announce that he was bringing three guests from the US who could not reach their homes in time for the festival.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was still a time of food shortage and strict rationing and we no longer raised chickens nor grew vegetables. My brother, then studying in Cambridge, had invited a number of Jewish fellow students from the Land of Israel to join us.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94499\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94499\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-94499\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/With-William-in-Wadesdon-715.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/With-William-in-Wadesdon-715.jpg 715w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/With-William-in-Wadesdon-715-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94499\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alice with her brother William in the field behind their wartime home, circa 1941<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My mother met the challenge unfazed.\u00a0 Chickens could still be bought in the morning, additional vegetables bought for soup, the giblets could be served in a sweet-sour sauce as an entr\u00e9e, there was a local bakery nearby and fortunately we had a plentiful stock of wine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When my father returned on Sunday evening, he brought with him a huge carp, a fish unknown in Britain, but beloved by Polish Jews like my parents. It more than adequately supplemented the feast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the greatest surprise and delight stemmed from the identity of the three guests:\u00a0 Opera singer Emma Schaver, who had developed an extensive repertoire of Yiddish songs which she performed in the Displaced Persons camps in Europe; the poet-philosopher Israel Efros; and Leib Halpern, a poet-dramatist who wrote\u00a0 under the pen-name of H. Levik, and whose most famous work was the poetic drama \u201cThe Dybbuk\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The wide-ranging, sparkling, fascinating conversation was mainly in Yiddish, the commentary original, illuminating; and the food, delicious, evoked justified compliments.\u00a0 And finally, a cherry on the icing, Emma Schaver introduced us to a melody for the \u201cWho is One\u201d song that comes at the close of the Haggadah.\u00a0 Though it proved to be well known in the Land of Israel, we had never before heard it.\u00a0 It is the one we\u2019ve sung ever since and each year, when we sing it, I recall Emma\u2019s strong contralto ringing out at our first post-World War Pesach Seder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We had survived.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2014<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The Alice Shalvi Archive is safeguarded among the collections of the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/en\/discover\/judaism\/holidays\/passover\/passover-memories\">Passover Memories<\/a>&#8221;
