"ONEG SHABBAT"

At the YOU TUBE web site, I subscribe to the YAD VASHEM channel, which posted this video.

I learned of the YAD VASHEM channel from a report in the DESERET NEWS.

I toured Yad Vashem during my visit to Israel.

Documentary film that makes use of archival films, photographs, works of art, and diaries. The film describes the activity of the underground archive of the Warsaw Ghetto that was created out of a sense of tremendous urgency and at the risk of human life; it also tells the story of Emmanuel Ringelblum who was the motivating force for establishing the archive.

The film appears in Yad Vashem's Holocaust History Museum. The entire collection of the Museum films (including documentary footage as well as testimonies) is available for personal viewing and research in Yad Vashem's Visual Center.
