Idag berättar Karin Brygger utifrån sin judiska tro om högtiden Chanukka, där ljuset spelar en symboliskt viktig roll. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:I judiska berättelser, särskilt de mystiska, måste vi öppna oss för ljuset för att kunna se det. Det hänger alltså på oss, förmågan att ta emot ljuset, inte på ljuset i sig. För mig öppnar den uppfattningen för att jag ska kunna ägna mig åt religion: tanken på att tro inte bara är att sitta på rumpan och vänta. När vi tror på att vi kan förbinda oss till ljus kan vi också bereda plats för mirakel i framtiden. Bara med den drömmen formulerad kommer ljuset att bli verklighet. Ser man på det judiska folkets långa historia, präglad av död och fördrivning, så är det traditionens förmåga att installera i oss en envishet och en tro på framtiden som gett oss vår framtid.Text:Översättningen av dikten Vetekorn av Abraham Sutzkever är hämtad ur Natt och Aska, Daniel Pedersen, Bokförlaget Faehton, 2024.Boken om Oyneg Shabes heter Förspridda av Georges Didi-Huberman, Bokförlaget Faethon.

A discussion with JTS's Dr. David G. Roskies about his powerful new collection of writings from the Warsaw Ghetto, recording the Holocaust from the perspective of its first interpreters, the victims themselves.Hidden in metal containers and buried underground during World War II, these works from the Warsaw Ghetto record the Holocaust from the perspective of its first interpreters, the victims themselves. Gathered clandestinely by an underground ghetto collective called Oyneg Shabes, the collection of reportage, diaries, prose, artwork, poems, jokes, and sermons captures the heroism, tragedy, humor, and social dynamics of the ghetto. Miraculously surviving the devastation of war, this extraordinary archive encompasses a vast range of voices—young and old, men and women, the pious and the secular, optimists and pessimists—and chronicles different perspectives on the topics of the day while also preserving rapidly endangered cultural traditions. Described by Roskies as “a civilization responding to its own destruction,” these texts tell the story of the Warsaw Ghetto in real time, against time, and for all time.Dr. David Kraemer, Joseph J. and Dora Abbell Librarian and professor of Talmud and Rabbinics, JTS, serves as moderator.

Film producer Nancy Spielberg describes growing up Jewish in Phoenix with her brother Steven, and discusses her film "Who Will Write Our History" documenting the Oyneg Shabes, a clandestine group of Warsaw Ghetto Jews who documented Nazi atrocities.

The story of how a group of around 60 Jews imprisoned by the Nazi regime in the Warsaw Ghetto secretly worked on archiving their rich history in wartime Poland, has powerful resonances today, as journalists continue to be killed simply for telling the truth. That's the view of writer-director-producer Roberta Grossman, and executive producer, Nancy Spielberg – sister of legendary Hollywood director Stephen Spielberg – whose new film “Who Will Write Our History” was screened recently at UN Headquarters. For this edition of our Lid Is On podcast from UN News, they sat down with Jessica Jiji during the UN's Holocaust remembrance commemorations in New York, to talk about their film and the extraordinary members of the clandestine “Oyneg Shabes” group, who were prepared to “die writing”.  

«Saranno i tedeschi a scrivere la nostra storia o saremo noi?» si chiese Emanuel Ringelblum, uno dei principali esponenti della sinistra sionista filo marxista. La risposta fu la creazione della ‘Oyneg Shabes’ (letteralmente la Gioia del Sabato), uno società segreta attorno alla quale chiamò a raccolta le migliori energie della vivace intellighenzia yiddish polacca di quegli anni: economisti, scrittori, rabbini, commercianti, insegnanti. Sionisti, socialisti e comunisti. A tutti distribuì taccuini: «Scrivete tutto, tutto è importante, ogni cosa che vedete.» "Who will write our history", scritto e diretto da Roberta Grossman, è uno straordinario documentario sulla storia dell’archivio segreto del ghetto di Varsavia. Una ricostruzione con filmati, immagini d’archivio, interviste a storici ed esperti degli orrori della storia del ghetto di Varsavia tra il 1940 e il 1942. Sessantamila pagine scritte dal collettivo di Oyneg Shabes prima che il ghetto fosse raso al suolo. Una testimonianza straordinaria inclusa nel Registro Unesco della Memoria del Mondo. A cura di Mariangela Matonte per Radio Bullets.

In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars and community leaders decided to fight back. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum and known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, this clandestine group vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. Now, for the first time, their story is told as a feature documentary. Written, produced and directed by Roberta Grossman, based upon the book Who Will Write Our History? by Samuel D. Kassow, and executive produced by Nancy Spielberg, Who Will Write Our History mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive with new interviews, rarely seen footage, and stunning dramatizations (shot on location in Lodz and Warsaw, Poland) to transport us inside the Ghetto and the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. They defied their murderous enemy with the ultimate weapon – the truth – and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not. Featuring the voices of three-time Academy Award nominee Joan Allen and Academy Award winner Adrian Brody, the film honors the Oyneg Shabes  members’ determination in creating the most important cache of eyewitness accounts to survive the war. Director / producer / writer Roberta Grossman joins us to talk about how her passion for social justice led her to Emanuel Ringelblum and what Who Will Write Our History can teaches about the world we live in today.

 Émission de la Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah, préparée par Rachel Rimmer, présentée par Juliette Senik Nos invités sont Justine Wojtiniak, metteuse en scène du spectacle Cabaret dans le ghetto,  et Jean-Yves Potel, écrivain, historien, spécialiste de la Pologne,qui a supervisé l’édition et la traduction en français des poèmes de Wladyslaw Szlengel dans Ce que je lisais aux morts paru en 2017 aux éditions Circé. À propos de la pièce Cabaret dans le ghetto Théâtre de la Cartoucherie (Epée de Bois) jusqu’au 27 janvier 2018 Cabaret dans le ghetto. Un spectacle intimiste parlé chanté dansé, qui cherche à saisir la petite flamme de vie ironique et grinçante en lutte contre l’horreur. Pas de lourdeur dans ce spectacle, mais du tango polonais, un jeune homme qui danse avec grâce, un musicien qui l’accompagne, des poèmes qui effleurent et égratignent le drame comme des plumes. Justine Wojtyniak signe ici un appel à la résistance: présente sur scène, narratrice et spectatrice, guide à travers tous les matériaux ré­coltés : le texte en prose de Szlengel, la manière dont il a été retrouvé dans une bouteille de lait avec les autres textes recueillis par l’organisation Oyneg Shabes dirigée par Emmanuel Ringelblum, , les photos sauvées de l’oubli, les paroles de tango qu’il a écrites et la voix d’Halina Birenbaum,  encore vivante aujourd’hui, et qui avait appris dans le ghetto de Varsovie les poèmes de Wladyslaw Szlengel.

Scholars argue about whether the Holocaust was unprecedented. It's a difficult question. On the one hand, slaughters litter the pages of history. On the other hand, none of them seem quite as calculated, systematic and horribly efficient as the Nazi murder of the Jews and other “Untermenchen.” One thing, however, is certain: the Holocaust is doubtless the best documented instance of mass murder in world history. The perpetrators were meticulous record keepers, and at the conclusion of the war many of their archives fell into Allied hands. The German record, however, is not the only record of the Holocaust. As Samuel Kassow shows in his moving Who Will Write Our History? Emanuel Ringelblum, the Warsaw Ghetto, and the Oyneg Shabes Archive (Indiana UP, 2007), the victims themselves made an concerted effort to document what was being done to them at the hands of the Nazis. Kassow tells the story of a group of Warsaw-based Jewish activists who built a secret organization–Oyneg Shabes–to collect and archive information about Jewish life (and death) under Nazi rule. Knowing that they would eventually be found out or killed, the members of Oyneg Shabes buried their archives so that they might be found after the war. As it happened, almost all of them were murdered. Yet their brave plan worked: some of the hidden archives were found. And in them we can hear them tell their own story.
