Passover Short Story: Wounded British Corporal Learns to Hate Bevin's Brutality at Seder RACK IN THE narrow cramped streets of Jerusalem's Yemin BACK Quarter they still talk about it in a kind of hushed amazement. Some say it happened early on the first night of Pesach. Some say it was much later in the evening. But most of them agree that this is how it took place.
