**Victim**
 * Emanuel Ringelblum**



For several years, Emanuel Ringelblum taught history in Jewish schools and was also active in public affairs. From an early age, he was also an active member of the political movement, the “Left Po’alei Zion,” led by activists including Adolf Berman and Emanuel Ringleblum. In 1930 he was a part-time employee of the Joint Distribution Committee and in November 1938 he was sent by them to the Zbaszyn camp where 6,000 Jews were gathered.

Later, he was an historian who led a group of people in a secret operation code called Oyneg Shabes (or Oneg Shabbat, Joy of the Sabbath). They wrote things that preserved the memory of the Holocaust. Their hope was that the memory of the Warsaw ghetto would endure. Later the evidence was placed in milk cans and buried beneath the streets of Warsaw. He was also responsible for a network of soup kitchens serving thousands of soup portions to the people of the ghetto. **My Glog:** [|**http://mollyniasarah.glogster.com/Emanuel-Ringelblum/**]
