The exact date of the tableau is unknown, though some of the drafts accompanying the full script include the year 1948. There are also some later amendments to the script.
The manuscript was found in 2005 by Simo Muir, who was doing an inventory of archival material found in a building owned by the Jewish Community of Helsinki. The manuscript is now in the collections of the Finnish Jewish Archives (National Archives of Finland), box 459.
