History and Resistance: Emanuel Ringelblum in the Warsaw Ghetto

During World War II, Jews resisted not only with guns but also with pen and paper. Even in the face of death, they left “time capsules” buried under the rubble. Determined that posterity would remember them on the basis of Jewish and not German sources, thousands of documents were buried in the Ringelblum Archive in the Warsaw Ghetto. All but three of the 60 people that the Polish Jewish historian Emanuel Ringelblum recruited to work on this national mission perished in the Holocaust.
