Emanuel Ringelblum

Emanuel Ringelblum was a Polish-Jewish historian and social activist best known for his efforts to document the experiences of Jews during the Holocaust. He founded the Oneg Shabbat archive in the Warsaw Ghetto, collecting testimonies, documents, and artifacts to preserve the history and reality of Jewish life under Nazi oppression. His work provides crucial insights into the Holocaust and serves as an important historical record. Tragically, Ringelblum was captured and killed by the Nazis, but the archive he created has become a vital resource for understanding this dark chapter in history.
