Oyneg ShabbosOyneg Shabbos (also Oneg Shabbat) was the codename of a group led by Jewish historian Emmanuel Ringelblum in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust. The group was dedicated to chronicling life in the Ghetto. Dozens of volunteers of all ages submitted essays, diaries, drawings, wall posters, and other materials describing life in the Ghetto. As the pace of deportations increased, and it became clear that the destination was the Treblinka death camp, Ringelblum had the archives stored in milk cans and buried in three separate locations in the Ghetto. After World War II, two of the cannisters, containing thousands of documents, were unearthed. The third cannister has yet to be uncovered, but is rumored to be buried beneath what is now the Chinese Embassy in Warsaw.
