Curator Talk: Will These Words Reach You? The Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto | Museum of Jewish Heritage

Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw for a deeper look at the new exhibition Will These Words Reach You? The Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto, an examination of one of the most significant acts of Jewish resistance and historical preservation during the Holocaust: the creation of the Oyneg Shabes Archive. Led by historian and activist Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum, a clandestine group of Jewish scholars, educators, journalists, religious leaders, artists, and youth activists committed themselves to recording Jewish life as it unfolded under Nazi rule. Over three years, they gathered nearly 35,000 documents, including testimonies, diaries, letters, and underground newspapers. 

Will These Words Reach You? commemorates the 80^th anniversary of the archive's recovery. Join Zuzanna Schnepf-Kołacz, Deputy Director for Programs at the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute; Sara Softness, the Museum's Director of Curatorial Affairs; and Tamar Rabinowitz, the Museum's Senior Curator, for a discussion about the process of curating the exhibition and the Oyneg Shabes Archive's continued importance.
