Who Will Write Our History

USA, Poland 2018 | 90 minutes | English, Polish, Yiddish | Hebrew, English subtitles

Who Will Write Our History tells the untold story of a resistance group in the Warsaw Ghetto who risked their lives so that the truth would survive even if they did not. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum, this clandestine organization established the Oneg Shabbat Archives and on the eve of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, buried hundreds of thousands of eye-witness accounts and recordings that would “let the world read and know.” Who Will Write Our History is based entirely on the letters and diaries of the secret archive, read by Adrien Brody and Joan Allan and brought to life in on-screen performances from leading Polish actors.
