After the end of World War II, amid the rubble of Warsaw, the Oyneg Shabes Archive was unearthed. It was secret eyewitness accounts of life in the Warsaw Ghetto that had been compiled by a team under the direction of Emanuel Ringelblum. The mission was to record every aspect of life under the Nazi terror, so that whatever the outcome of the war, there would be firsthand documents to bear witness to the atrocities that occurred, and to counter the propaganda of the Third Reich. Compiling the history of the ghetto as it unfolded was a life-or-death proposition — and if the treasury fell into German hands, it would be destroyed. Only three people knew where the archives were buried, and what if those three didn’t survive? Roberta Grossman’s powerful documentary, mixing dramatic reenactments with archival footage and interviews with survivors of the ghetto, brings this remarkable story to vivid, nail-biting life.
