Who Will Write Our History?: Emanuel Ringelblum, the Warsaw Ghetto, and the Oyneg Shabes Archive (The Helen and Martin Schwartz Lectures in Jewish Studies)
Product Description: In 1940, the historian Emanuel Ringelblum established a clandestine organization, code named Oyneg Shabes, in Nazi-occupied Warsaw to study and document all facets of Jewish life in wartime Poland and to compile an archive that would preserve this history for posterity. As the Final Solution unfolded, although decimated by murders and deportations, the group persevered in its work until the spring of 1943. Of its more than 60 members, only three survived. Ringelblum and his family perished in March 1944. But before he died, he managed to hide thousands of documents in milk cans and tin boxes. Searchers found two of these buried caches in 1946 and 1950.
Who Will Write Our History tells the gripping story of Ringelblum and his determination to use historical scholarship and the collection of documents to resist Nazi oppression.
Incredible Insight into the Warsaw Ghetto This is an extremely important book which tells the story of Emanuel Ringelblum who saw the necessity to record life, and death, as he lived it during his "incarceration" in the Warsaw Ghetto. Mr. Ringelblum's efforts to collect, collate, and hide this important information, code name "Oneg Shabbat" are a major source of much of the information we currently have about those horrible years. I heartily recommend this book. Someone had to "write the history".
definitive book A fantastic, I am tempted to say a definitive book about this compelling issue. For sure a milestone, as far as I can judge.
