Broadsheet comprised of a kinnot (liturgical dirge) and prayer for those at rest (departed). The kinnot begins:
Tears flow from our eyes and our hearts melt,
the blood of our brothers is poured out on the ground like water by our enemies.
Small children, women, young men, elders and nursing children are slain,
“all that were pleasant to the eye,” (Lamentations 2:4) burned by strangers and Anakim.
The prayer for those at rest (departed) äùëáä, by far the longer part, begins with the words of the Av ha-Rahamim prayer, “Merciful Father, Who dwells on high” inserting the request that he remember with mercy all the pious and perfect from the holy communities in Poland, the Ukraine, Galicia, Lita, Romania and elsewhere who gave their lives to sanctify His name. From “the Ukraine to Romania” has been crossed out and in the margin someone has replaced those countries with Erez Israel. This highly moving tefillah continues recalling suffering and pleading for mercy from the Almighty.
