School of Dialogue educators visited the Jewish Historical Institute (Żydowski Instytut Historyczny), where they participated in a guided tour of Institute’s new permanent exhibition What we’ve been unable to shout out to the world (Czego nie mogliśmy wykrzyczeć światu), dedicated to the Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto and its creators – the Oneg Shabbat group. For the first time in 70 years, JHI presents original documents of the Archive – one of the most important testimonies of the Holocaust of Polish Jews, as well as one of two authentic containers in which the documents were buried underground. The Archive, unearthed in two parts in 1946 and 1950, is considered to be one of the most siginificant archive complexes and was included on UNESCO’s Memory of the World list in 1999.
After the tour our educators had an unique opportunity to discuss with Institute’s curators the great educational value of the exhibition for Warsaw’s School of Dialogue students.
