80 years on from the Warsaw Ghetto's revolt & destruction, Radio 4 brings to life an extraordinary secret archive chronicling daily existence in the prison city.
The Oyneg Shabes Archive documented every facet of life and death in the ghetto between 1940-43. It was history as survival. Anton Lesser narrates. Episode 6-Faith & Culture with Ilan Goodman & Carl Prekopp.

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. 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.
