Edited by Israel Gutman

$27.37

This publication comprises articles presented at the international conference held at Yad Vashem on the 60th anniversary of Ringelblum’s murder by the Germans. The articles focus on Ringelblum’s life and activities, addressing the private man, the intellectual, and the universal humanist. They incorporate his worldview, his writings, his social activities and the momentous venture he founded in the Warsaw ghetto – the Oyneg Shabes Archives. This volume also includes the last letters of Emanuel Ringelblum and his wife Józia Yehudit, written in their hiding place in the "Aryan" sector of Warsaw, to their friends Adolf Abraham and Batya Temkin-Berman. The letters depict life in the bunker and reflect Ringelblum’s attempts at self-help as well as his unremitted historical work. The letter written on March 1, 1944, a few days before his hiding place was discovered, constitutes Emanuel Ringelblum’s last will and testament.

“The importance of Ringelblum’s diary and writings – so important that his words should be studied in Israeli schools – lies in his complex vision of those terrible days which tested Jews and Poles under the Nazi occupation.” [Miri Paz, Makor Rishon]

Hiding, Sheltering and Borrowing Identities: Avenues of Rescue During the Holocaust

Edited by Dan Michman

During the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust, the focus of research was directed at the actions of the murderers and at resistance. That situation changed gradually during the 1960s and 1970s. The rescue of Jews, a major aspect of Holocaust history, started to attract the attention of scholars. Still, the focus was mostly on governments and organizations. The initiation of Yad Vashem’s recognition program for the Righteous Among the Nations also drew public attention to the acts of individual rescuers in areas under Nazi control. Over the course of the last three decades, important studies have been published that investigated the rescuers and their acts. Yet even today, many aspects of the rescue activities require further research. Moreover, the aspect of Jewish initiatives and individual experiences deserves more attention. Yad Vashem’s eighteenth biannual conference, titled “Hiding, Sheltering and Borrowing Identities as Avenues of Rescue during the Holocaust,” brought together a large number of international scholars to discuss new approaches and the current state of research on the topic. This volume, based on a selection of papers that were presented at the conference, aims to provide an overview of the multi-faceted landscape of academic studies on the rescuers and the rescued.
