Treasury for the priceless Archive. See how we store documents from the Warsaw ghetto
Within the Oneg Szabat Program, we strive to provide the best possible storage conditions for the invaluable collection of documents – the Ringelblum Archive. In May 2021, we have completed the next important phase of the long-term modernization project of the former Main Judaic Library building at 3/5 Tłomackie Street in Warsaw. We reserved a space within the special collection’s storehouse and created a repository dedicated solely to housing the Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto. Thanks to this, we managed to provide even better protection for the Archive, meeting the highest global standards for storing archival documentation.
