Green glazed earthenware Passover Seder plate made by Jewish DPs in the Föhrenwald displaced persons camp.
Decorated on the rim of the plate is a scene of slave laborers being forced to work by a master in the shadow of a pyramid and a group of buildings representing historic Jerusalem. The Hebrew text on one side of the decorative motif reads: "From Slavery to Freedom, " and on the other: "This Year in Jerusalem". Inside another decorative motif are the Hebrew and English words "JOINT" and "Religious Office". Stamped on the back is the Hebrew term "Sheerit ha-Pletah" [Surviving Remnant] and the English, "Employment Board".
