Poland: digitization to save the archives of the Warsaw ghetto

Poland digitization to save the archives of the Warsaw ghetto

On April 19, 1943, Polish Jews revolted against the occupying Nazis. Locked up since October 1940 in a 300-hectare ghetto bounded by a three-meter-high wall in the heart of Warsaw, most were deported to the Treblinka camp before the area was set on fire. The Polin Museum and the Jewish Historical Institute, two players in Polish culture, are working on the duty of memory by digitizing their archives.
