The meeting will be held on October 25 (Monday) at 7 p.m. IL time and lead by Dr. Bartosz Borys, Head of the JHI Education Department.

Dr. Borys will introduce the audience to the unique history of the Oneg Shabbat Group which created an underground archive to document Nazi crimes in occupied Warsaw. Making it a unique group of intellectuals resisting the horrors of the Holocaust. The entire archive was hidden beneath the earth and discovered after the war ended.
