Who Will Write Our History is a 90-minute documentary about Emanuel Ringelblum and the secret archives of the Warsaw Ghetto. Ringlelblum led the Oyneg Shabes, a group of intellectuals that took it upon themselves to archive the stories of their community and then bury them in the ghetto. While the majority of the group was killed in concentration camps, the materials they saved survived, and today historians regard Ringelblum’s Oyneg Shabes Archive as an unequaled achievement of scholarly self-study. This renewal grant further supports the production of the film.
