Retrieved after World War II from metal boxes and milk cans
buried beneath the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto, the Oyneg Shabes
Ringelblum Archive was clandestinely compiled between 1940 and 1942
under the leadership of historian Emanuel Ringelblum. Members of
the secret Oyneg Shabes organization gathered thousands of
testimonies from natives of Warsaw and refugees from hundreds of
other localities, creating a documentary record of the wartime fate
of Polish Jewry. Now housed in the Jewish Historical Institute in
Warsaw, the archive comprises some 35,000 pages, including
documents, materials from the underground press, photographs,
memoirs, belles lettres, and much more. This first comprehensive
description of its contents is meticulously indexed to facilitate
location of documents and information. By aiding access to this
unique archival treasure, the catalog and guide advance study of
the daily lives, struggles, and sufferings of Polish Jews at a
crucial time and place in the history of the Holocaust."
