Background
Information
In every generation each person must
regard himself as if he himself had come out of
Egypt, as it is said: "And thou shalt relate it to
thy son on that day, saying, this is done on account
of that which the Lord did unto me, when I came
forth out of Egypt."(Exodus 13:8, Passover Hagadah)

"Not to know what happened before we
were born is to remain perpetually a child. For what
is the worth of a human life unless it is woven into
the life of our ancestors by the records of
history?" --- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106-43 B.C.
