Clip: 4/10/2014 | 7m 27s

This rare 600-year-old Jewish guide to the Passover Seder, has survived war and exile.

Many Jews will be observing Passover at a Seder, the special meal that commemorates their ancestors’ exodus from slavery in Egypt. The book that guides the ritual is the haggadah. The Sarajevo Haggadah, named for the Bosnian city where it is kept, is a rare, beautifully illustrated manuscript created more than 600 years ago in Spain.
