"In 1940 the historian Emanuel Ringelblum established a clandestine organization, code named Oyneg Shabes, in Nazi-occupied Warsaw to study and document all facets of Jewish life in wartime Poland and to compile an archive that would preserve this history for posterity." "Who Will Write Our History? tells the gripping story of Ringelblum and his determination to use historical scholarship and the collection of documents to resist Nazi oppression. The Germans, confident of victory, assumed that they would determine how future generations remembered the Jews. Through his heroic efforts, Ringelblum insured that even if he and his comrades perished, future generations would rely on Jewish and not Nazi sources to study the last chapters of Polish Jewry."--BOOK JACKET.
