Investigating life for Jewish people trapped in the Warsaw Ghetto through the finds of the extraordinary Oyneg Shabbes Archive

Dr Avril Alba is Associate Professor of Holocaust Studies and Jewish Civilisation at the University Of Sydney, Australia

The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of the Nazi ghettos during WW2 and the Holocaust. It

was established in Nov 1940 and, at its height, as many as 460,000 Jews were imprisoned

there. In the summer of 1942, at least 254,000 ghetto residents were sent to the Treblinka

extermination camp. The ghetto was demolished by the Germans in May 1943 after the

Warsaw Ghetto Uprising had temporarily halted the deportations.

Buried in milk cans and tin boxes under the rubble of the Warsaw ghetto, the Oyneg

Shabbes archive constitutes the largest collection of Jewish writing about the ghetto. The

compilation of the archive was both an everyday and extraordinary act of courage and

defiance that has bequeathed to us knowledge that otherwise would have perished

alongside its creators. This lecture will discuss the origins and content of the archive and

its implications for remembering the Holocaust today.
