Who Will Write Our History?: Rediscovering a Hidden Archive from the Warsaw Ghetto | Samuel D. Kassow

More nonfiction about the holocaust.

I know there are tons of books about the Holocaust but I didn't want to do to many and overwhelm people. I'm thinking of putting a longer list on my blog or maybe a few posts one for nonfiction, one for memoirs, ect.

Crazeedi I have this one

Righteous Among the Nations: Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust

Who Will Write Our History?: Rediscovering a Hidden Archive from the Warsaw Ghetto | Samuel D. Kassow

Just returned from seeing this powerful documentary 💔”Let our witness, be our writing “ From 1940-1943 sixty members of a secret organization living in the Warsaw Ghetto kept journals, documents, photos, drawings & personal mementos to chronicle their experiences. Weeks before the Great Deportation (when over 800,000 Jews were sent to the Extermination Camps) they buried their archives as a living testament. In 1946 a member recovered the cache.

Crazeedi That is so powerful, I would love to see and read. They knew they had to give something to the world, 💔 6y

TrishB Powerful and sad 💔 never forget. 6y

Suet624 The Warsaw Ghetto and the resistance attempt has always had a hold on me. I didn‘t know about this documentary but I already have tears in my eyes just thinking about it. 6y

LeahBergen Wow. 💔 6y

Megabooks At a loss for words. 😭 6y

Cinfhen A really powerful documentary, the old film coverage is so visually jarring. It‘s hard to wrap your head around what you‘re seeing, hearing @LeahBergen @Megabooks @Suet624 @TrishB @Crazeedi Such evils perpetrated by man. I‘m with you Meg, I‘m at a loss for words😔 6y

Centique Oh wow, what an incredible thing to be preserved. I definitely want to see this. 💔💔💔 6y

Cinfhen Out of the 60 members only 2 survived the war @Centique and it was a miracle because only 3 members knew where they buried the archives and he was one of those 2 who lived to actually go back to the ruble and search for the hidden records. (edited) 6y

Centique @Cinfhen what a miracle that he survived. 💔 And how all those others must have put their hopes into their stories surviving - and he had all that on his shoulders at the end and he did it for them 😢 6y

Crazeedi @Cinfhen I began to read books about Warsaw ghetto after I read this book as a teenager, I've been in awe of the courage of all who lived and died, so tragic and almost too horrific to believe

Cinfhen I‘ve always meant to read that book @Crazeedi thanks for putting it back on my radar 😍 6y

Who Will Write Our History?: Rediscovering a Hidden Archive from the Warsaw Ghetto | Samuel D. Kassow

I couldn‘t believe it this morning when I read an article that stated 1 in 20 people in the UK still don‘t believe the Holocaust happened?! What?? It happened, it‘s history, it‘s not the Easter Bunny, it‘s not something you ‘believe in‘?! Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, I‘ve read lots of books on the Holocaust & these two are next on my TBR list! 👍🏻 #neverforget

JazzFeathers That can't be possible. 1 in 20 is a lot of people 😨 6y

TrishB 💔 6y

squirrelbrain Yes, I read that too. It is just staggering and quite unbelievable and makes me very angry and sad. 6y

Birdsong28 @JazzFeathers There are loads of people who deny it happened, that it was made up to gain sympathy. It's disgusting!!! 6y

tracey38 That is just horrible that so many deny it happened. 💔 6y

GingerAntics Thank you! I can‘t believe the number of people who just deny evidence. I‘d love to take them to some of these camps that are nine museums and see what their explanation for all of it is. Did Jewish people just drop dead of their own free will? This isn‘t something you believe in. It‘s fact. You don‘t believe in fact? That‘s disturbing. 6y
