Under the initiative of historian Emanual Ringelblum, a group of social activists incarcerated in the Warsaw Ghetto created the archive between 1940 and 1943 with the aim to document the persecution of Jews in occupied Poland. Emulating the working principles of YIVO (Yidisher Visnshaftlekher Institut, Yiddish Scientific Institute), the Warsaw group gathered and produced a total of 35,000 pages of documents, in Polish, Yiddish, Hebrew, and German and stowed them away secretly within the Ghetto. Among the documents were diaries, accounts from approximately 300 Jewish communities from the whole territory of occupied Poland, school essays, research works, and official German documents: like posters, identification cards, and food ration cards. There were also some 70 photographs and over 300 drawings and paintings. The Archive was retrieved in parts from the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto: Part I (concealed on August 3, 1942) was found on September 18, 1946, and Part II (concealed in early February 1943) was found on December 1, 1950. Who were the people who created this archive? Dr. Natalia Aleksiun will share with us her research on the main contributors to one of the most important archives that was written as the events were happening. In her presentation, Dr. Katarzyna Person will discuss the academic significance of the archive and the methods used to bring this extraordinary collection to the wider public. *Register here <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://trailer.web-view.net/Links/0X752D151F3597A05D125D7098B9AD11B82BD3BD0A70251DB551421AB866D6EF9CD71FC40A1EA38007242812C3C3A47EC5264B05237E8A1509633524702A8D35E3DF7123185F36660D.htm__;!!KGKeukY!xNGwnR-ATAO7enlj-GJIQCSjfvQoHktUu1o6kLQBK4cPhMMb2uOKokr8xFBXP7pchoiZx-zX4k14GA3sxnqw$ >* or at https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMud-6sqzkpGdT92hxG34YshByIVVgm6Dtx__;!!KGKeukY!xNGwnR-ATAO7enlj-GJIQCSjfvQoHktUu1o6kLQBK4cPhMMb2uOKokr8xFBXP7pchoiZx-zX4k14GJo5Y7sI$ Please share this invitation with anyone who may be interested. -- Walter Reich Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Professor of International Affairs, Ethics and Human Behavior Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences The George Washington University [image: RabinChairForumLogo copy 2.jpg] -- Shmuel Ben-Gad, Gelman Library, George Washington University. "[I]n Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."--Harry Lime in the film "The Third Man".
