International conference
Helping the Jews in occupied Europe
Call for papers
70 years ago the Germans were completing their campaign of near-total destruction of the Jew-ish population. On the occupied Polish territory the last Jews resided in the few remaining ghet-tos (in Lodz, for instance), concentration camps and work camps, and many thousands remained in hiding. They all hoped for the imminent end of the war, but none of them knew who would live to see the day of liberation. One of them was Emanuel Ringelblum, an eminent historian and the founder of the underground archive of the Warsaw ghetto. He was hiding with a group of thirty Jews in an underground bunker located in Warsaw, Grojecka street 81. On March 7, 1944, de-nounced to the Germans, they all (Jews and their Polish rescuers) have been arrested and exe-cuted in the ruins of the ghetto.
