Hersz Wasser – the Oneg Shabbat’s Secretary
Hersz Wasser was Emanuel Ringelblum’s closest collaborator, the heir of the Oneg Shabbat after the war. He handled the organization’s everyday affairs, obtaining and cataloguing documents, recruiting and keeping a record of employees, purchasing stationery and managing the finances. As one of three surviving members of the Oneg Shabbat, he was the only one who knew where the Archive was hidden, which made it possible to find the first cache in 1946.

Jechiel (Chil) Górny
In Oneg Shabbat, he was responsible for cataloguing materials and copying documents – together with Hersz Wasser, Bluma Wasser and Eliasz Gutkowski. He was writing down and editing first-hand accounts. His diary provides a priceless record of the Great Deportation and the battles of January 1943. During the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, he was a member of Hersz Berliński’s combat unit. He died in the sewers, trying to escape the burning ghetto.
