„But we stand little change of surviving and that is why I am writing this testament. May this treasure fall into good hands, may it survive until better times, may it alarm the world to what happened in to 20th century...”
These words of Dawid Graber's, preserved in the Ringelblum Archive hidden in the ghetto in Warsaw, should be remembered every day. Our work today, the alarming of the world, would not be possible without the courage of people, who then discovered a huge courage to document and record the fate of those who suffered and perished.
In "Memoria" we present a moving new permanent exhibition at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw. Its narrative is based on the history of the Oneg Shabbat group of Emanuel Ringelblum. We are also in Madrid, the first stop at the seven-year long trip of a huge exhibition devoted to Auschwitz and the Holocaust, where history is told by over 600 authentic objects. Soon, new objects discovered thanks to archaeologists at the site of the former KL Plaszow camp will be shown on some completely new exhibition. I recommend reading these as well as many other articles.
I also encourage all our readers to co-operate with us. We would be grateful to receive information about events, projects, publications, exhibitions, conferences or research that we could write about. We also accept proposals for articles. Please do share information about this magazine with others, particularly via social media.
