Samuel Kassow, Northam Professor of History at Trinity College, holds a Ph.D. from
Princeton University. He has been a visiting professor at many institutions and helped
plan the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw. Among his various publications
is Who Will Write Our History: Emanuel Ringelblum and the Secret Ghetto Archive.
Kassow's new book traces the incredible story of Rokhl Auerbach, a Polish woman tasked
by social activist Emanuel Ringelblum to join his top-secret ghetto archive. One of
only three surviving members of the archive project, Auerbach's wartime and postwar
writings became a crucial source of information for historians.
Warsaw Testament is based on Auerbach's translated writings. It paints a vivid portrait of the city's
prewar Yiddish literary and artistic community and of its destruction at the hands
of the Nazis.
This Program is Free and Open to the Public.
A limited number of books will be available for purchase.
