Poland Marks 15th Year of Uprising in Warsaw Ghetto

Dr. Emanuel Ringelbaum, who was shot to death by the Nazis in Pawiak
rison in Warsaw, in March 1944, organized and assembled the material which has
preserved the story of the inhabitants of the Nazi-established Warsaw Ghetto. The
photo on the left is the first page of one of his own manuscrips, a monograph on
the commander of the Jewish Fighting Organization, Mordechai Anielewicz. This
part of the Ringelbaum documents was • written in October 1942 while he was outside
the Gretto. It is in the collection of the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw.
A vivid account of the suffering and heroism of the Jews confined to the
Nazi-established Ghetto in Warsaw was contained in the Ringelbaum Archives, which
consists of diaries and other materials gathered by Dr:, Ringelbaum and a group of
Warsaw Ghetto scholars and writers. The records were
packed in milk cans and buried in the 'Ghetto. The
two milk cans shown here, containing material on
Ghetto life, were buried in February 1943 and dug
up in the Ghetto ruins in 1950. They are now in the
Warsaw Jewish Historical Institute.
The 15th anniversary of the Ghetto Uprising, which
began on April 19, 1943, will be commemorated in
special ceremonies in the Polish capital, April 19-20.
Other events in the commemoration include visits
to Oswiecim (Auschwitz) and Treblinka, the Nazi
concentration camps where millions of Poles and other
Europeans were killed in gas chambers and cremator-
iums. Oswiecim is now a national museum.
