“Scream the Truth at the World — Emanuel Ringelblum and the Hidden Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto”
Warsaw Jews preserved the truth
“Scream the Truth at the World — Emanuel Ringelblum and the Hidden Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto” started with one man and an idea. Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum wanted to tell the world the horror the Polish Jews were suffering during World War II, so he enlisted a few dozen men and women to form Oyneg Shabbes (Sabbath Joy). The group collected the diaries, manuscripts and documents of Warsaw Jews, not only to tell the rest of the world what has happening at the time but also in hopes of later using the items as evidence of war crimes. Concerned that the collection should survive, even if they did not, Oyneg Shabbes buried the archive. In 1946, ten tin boxes containing part of the archive were uncovered; in 1950, two milk cans with more items were found. The exhibit includes original artifacts from the archive, as well as photographs and reproductions of letters.
