Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Within the unimaginable horror of life in the Warsaw ghetto, Emanuel Ringelblum started an extraordinary organization dedicated to recording life under Nazi occupation. They gathered an archive of some 35,000 documents which remained buried beneath the rubble as the ghetto was razed to the ground. This is the story of the archive and the people behind it, who remained determined that their history would not be forgotten.

Publisher's description:

In the Autumn of 1940 the Jews of Warsaw were forced into a crowded ghetto, enduring unimaginable conditions until most were killed. Yet, amid this, one man, Emanuel Ringelblum, started an organization dedicated to recording life under Nazi occupation.
