The documents collected in this volume constitute a record of various issues connected with the activity of the Oyneg Shabes group — an underground organisation of the Warsaw ghetto, which served as a scientific/research institute and was the only institution of this type on the Polish territory under the German occupation. One might say that almost every manuscript from Ringelblum’s Archive records something about Oyneg Shabes, but the materials collected here are particularly important for they show the organisation from various angles, familiarising one with its co-workers, its aims, the results of its activity and its significance for Holocaust history.
