For the past three years, Dr. Natalia Romik, together with an interdisciplinary team of professionals, has been conducting in-depth investigations into the legacy of spaces that served as hideouts for Jews during the German occupation. The team documented the topography of the spaces, researching how they were created and sustained. Romik’s work is currently being presented at the National Zacheta Gallery in Warsaw in an exhibition Hideouts: The Architecture of Survival. The exhibition presents her artistic renderings of the spaces, the stories of those who sought shelter, and the fate of those who helped them.

If you missed the 23rd installment of our #TJHTalks, you can still listen to the amazing story of Rachela Auerbach, an acclaimed writer, historian and social worker.
Born in 1903 in the town of Łanowce, currently Ukraine, she later enrolled at Adam Mickiewicz Private High School for Girls and continued her education at Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv.
There she joined the Jewish Student Society and quickly became one of its leaders. Later, she worked as a journalist for Jewish press, writing prolifically in both Polish and Yiddish. After moving to Warsaw in the early 1930’s, she continued her work as a journalist, always making sure to provide a platform for important female artists and thinkers.
After the war Rachela Auerbach moved to Israel and began working with the Yad Vashem Institute, staying with the organization until her death in 1976. She was also a witness during the Eichmann Trial in 1961.
During the 23rd edition of #TJHTalks, Dr Katarzyna Person and Helise Lieberman discussed the impactful role of women in the Warsaw ghetto as recorded in the Ringelblum Archive.

As the last witnesses of one of the worst genocides humanity has brought upon itself are passing away an important question arises. How authentic memory can be preserved and cultivated when the people who experienced those events are no longer with us. Is it still memory or is it now history?
The burden of answering those questions rests on institutions established around memorial sites, whose primary goals it is to preserve memory, raise awareness and educate, while maintaining objectivity and embracing historical truth.
Those institutions face a difficult task of reaching a wide audience and educating as many people as possible, while maintaining the gravity of the site and the dignity of its victims. This becomes especially challenging when using modern communication tools such as Social Media.
Additionally, those responsibilities become even more exacerbated by the current state of the world, where travelling and experiencing memorial sites firsthand is severely limited.
We will explore those challenges from the perspective of people actively involved with day-to-day operations of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum.

Resistance during the Holocaust took on many forms. Most of us are familiar with the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943 and the heroic sacrifice of Jewish men and women. But Jewish resistance also had a different, non-violent side. A good example of such efforts was the Ringelblum Archive and the Oneg Shabbat group. Its members contributed materials, research, and ephemera to the historical initiative centered around Emanuel Ringelblum.
Dr. Katarzyna Person shares the tragic stories of women during the Holocaust as recorded in the Ringelblum Archive.

Even though most Ashkenazi Jews around the world can trace their roots back to Poland, the 1,000-year history of the Jewish experience in Poland is still not widely known. Instead, it is often mythologized or demonized, unfortunately losing its enormous contributions to Poland and impact on world Jewry in the process. Professor Antony Polonsky looks into the place of the Holocaust in studying Jewish Polish history.
