Dawid Graber, Nachum Grzywacz, and Izrael\u00a0Lichtensztajn\u00a0were members of a clandestine organization named\u00a0Oneg\u00a0Shabbat, which means \u201cthe Joy of Shabbat\u201d in Hebrew. Founded by Dr. Emanuel\u00a0Ringelblum,\u00a0Oneg\u00a0Shabbat\u2019s goal was to document the lives and deaths of Polish Jews under the German occupation. Neither the teacher nor his students survived the war.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The second part of the\u00a0Ringelblum\u00a0Archive was buried in the same place, most likely in February 1943. Only three members of\u00a0Oneg\u00a0Shabbat survived the war: Rachela Auerbach, Hersz Wasser and Bluma Wasser. Afterwards, they began the search for the Archive, one of the most important testimonies on the Holocaust.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The first part of the Archive was found in the ruins of\u00a0Nowolipki\u00a0Street in 1946, and the second part in 1950. Since that time, the Archive, containing over 35,000 pages of documents, has been under the guardianship of the Association of the Jewish Historical Institute of Poland and is entrusted to the care of the Emanuel\u00a0Ringelblum\u00a0Jewish Historical Institute. In 1999, the Archive was included on the UNESCO Memory of the World list as an example of the documentary heritage of humanity.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The\u00a0Ringelblum\u00a0Archive Commemoration Monument, designed by \u0141ukasz\u00a0Mieszkowski\u00a0and Marcin Urbanek, emerges today on the map of Warsaw thanks to the partnership of the Association for Social and Cultural Initiatives\u00a0Stacja\u00a0Muran\u00f3w, the Association of the Jewish Historical Institute of Poland, the Public Committee for the\u00a0Ringelblum\u00a0Archive Commemoration, <a href=\"http:\/\/szih.org.pl\/en\/donors-of-the-ringelblum-archive-commemoration-monument\/\">over 40 donors from Poland and around the world<\/a>, and many other people who did their utmost to properly commemorate the heroes of\u00a0Oneg\u00a0Shabbat.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Stacja\u00a0Muran\u00f3w\u00a0and the Public Committee for the\u00a0Ringelblum\u00a0Archive Commemoration conducted administrative activities in the Wola District Office, which enabled the project implementation.
