An engrossing and brilliant achievement in historical scholarship based upon testimony preserved in thousands of documents recovered after World War II. In 1940, in the Warsaw ghetto, a Polish historian named Emanuel Ringelblum established a Clandestine group of professional and amateur scholars dedicated to recording all aspects of Jewish life in wartime Poland. In defiance of the Nazis' attempts to obliterate their people, the Oyneg Shabes group chronicled the thoughts and experiences of thousands as they suffered starvation, disease, and che dawning realization of the Nazis' plans. Shortly before the ghetto was emptied and razed, the Oyneg Shabes managed to hide thousands of documents in milk cans and tin boxes, ensuring that the voice and culture of a doomed people would survive. Samuel D. Kassow is the Charles Northam Professor of History at Trinity College. He is author of "Students, Professors, and the State in Tsarist Russia, 1884 - 1917" and editor (with Edith W. Clowes and James L. West) of "Between Tsar and People : the Search for a Public Identity in Tsarist Russia". He has lectured on Russian and Jewish history in many countries, including Israel, Russia, and Poland
