Exhibition open from 17 November – 30 March
On display for the first time outside of Europe, Underground exhibits rare artefacts from the hidden archive of the Warsaw Ghetto. This archive was led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum who initiated an unprecedented campaign to collect material in the ghetto—the collection today known as the Ringelblum Archive. This collective of academics, writers, and activists worked secretly in an attempt to document the mass murder of European Jews as it was happening.
The exhibition tells the story of this act of resistance: a never-ending, arduous, harrowing but ultimately successful attempt to write the story of the Holocaust from the perspective of its victims.
Underground will be open from 17 November 2024 to 30 March 2025.
