The powerful writings and art of Jews living in the Warsaw Ghetto
Hidden in metal containers and buried underground during World War
II, these works from the Warsaw Ghetto record the Holocaust from
the perspective of its first interpreters, the victims themselves.
Gathered clandestinely by an underground ghetto collective called
Oyneg Shabes, the collection of reportage, diaries, prose, artwork,
poems, jokes, and sermons captures the heroism, tragedy, humor, and
social dynamics of the ghetto. Miraculously surviving the
devastation of war, this extraordinary archive encompasses a vast
range of voices-young and old, men and women, the pious and the
secular, optimists and pessimists-and chronicles different
perspectives on the topics of the day while also preserving rapidly
endangered cultural traditions. Described by David G. Roskies as "a
civilization responding to its own destruction," these texts tell
the story of the Warsaw Ghetto in real time, against time, and for
all time.
