Who Will Write Our History?                                                                                                  (Viewer discretion advised)
Based on the book by historian Samuel Kassow, Who Will Write Our History tells the story of Emanuel Ringelblum and the Oyneg Shabes Archive, the secret archive he created and led in the Warsaw Ghetto. Discovered in 1946 and 1950, the thousands of surviving documents of the Archive were housed in underfunded conditions in the Jewish Historical Institute of Warsaw for decades. With 30,000 pages of writing, photographs, posters, and more, it’s the most important cache of in-the-moment, eyewitness accounts from the Holocaust. It documents not only how the Jews of the ghetto died, but how they lived.  The voices of the Oyneg Shabes Archive will be heard.
