The archives of Oyneg Shabes reveal the daily struggles for life in the Warsaw Ghetto between 1940-43.
Between 1940-43 a group of dedicated writers, led by historian Emanuel Ringeblum, created an underground archive chronicling daily Jewish existence in the Warsaw Ghetto. It would become history as survival. Anton Lesser narrates this 10 part series revealing the lives, stories & destruction of the Ghetto. Omnibus Edition episodes 1-5.

With Elliot Levey as Emanuel Ringeblum.

In the middle of Europe, in the middle of the 20th Century, a half million Jewish men, women & children were herded into a prison city within a city. Walled off & surrounded by the German occupiers & their collaborators. How do you tell the world about your life and fate? Historian and activist Emanuel Ringelblum devised and directed a clandestine archive- codename Oyneg Shabes (Joy of the Sabbath) to chronicle every aspect of their existence. He recruited over 60 'zamlers' or gatherers to write, collect & compile thousands of pages-diaries, essays, poems, photographs, statistical studies, art, ephemera -a historical treasure that was buried even as the Ghetto was being extinguished so that the world might read and understand.
