Who will write our history

Resistance comes in many forms

Who Will Write Our History tells the story of Emanuel Ringelblum and the Oyneg Shabes Archive, the secret archive he created and led in the Warsaw Ghetto.

With 30,000 pages of writing, photographs, posters, and more, the Oyneg Shabes Archive is the most important cache of in-the-moment, eyewitness accounts from the Holocaust. It documents not only how the Jews of the ghetto died, but how they lived.

The film is based on the book of the same name by historian Samuel Kassow.

A clandestine group of journalists, scholars, and community leaders in the Warsaw Ghetto defied the Nazis with the ultimate weapon – the truth – and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not.

Now, for the first time, their story is told in the documentary featuring the voices of three-time Academy Award® nominee Joan Allen and Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody.

“Roberta Grossman’s films demonstrate the way in which good documentarians are often first-rate anthropologists and historians. With her proven filmmaking skills and the impressive panel of scholars she has brought together to advise her, I’m sure she will make a beautiful, accurate and important film about the Oyneg Shabes Archive.”
