Jewish Historical Institute | Ringelblum Archive
EUR 4 per person
Alongside the famous POLIN Museum, the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw is the most important institution on the subject of Jews in Poland in general and in Warsaw in particular.
Short description of the exchibition
T he Jewish Historical Institute presents one of the most fascinating and simultaneously saddest stories from the time of World War II in Warsaw. Amidst the immense inhumanity, a small and dedicated group manages to safeguard the so-called Ringelblum Archive from the destructive force. The exhibition captivates guests and brings to light unimaginable destinies. For those interested in learning as much as possible about the Jewish heritage in Warsaw and Poland, we highly recommend a visit to this institute, in addition to the POLIN Museum.
The Ringelblum Archive, or Oneg Shabbat, was included in the UNESCO World Documentary Heritage in 1999 under the English designation Warsaw Ghetto Archives.
Why do we recommend this museum?
The secret Ringelblum Archive, which received the code name Oneg Shabbat, is a preserved underground archive from the Warsaw Ghetto (1940-1943). Emanuel Ringelblum led the archiving group. The collection is exhibited in the institute.
In addition, there are two permanent exhibitions on the topics of “Jewish Life in Poland/Warsaw” and “The Destruction in the Holocaust.
