Main research activities
The most valuable part of the collection stored in and researched by the Institute is the Warsaw Ghetto Archive, known as the Ringelblum Archive, collected by the Oyneg Shabbos organisation. Other important collections concerning World War II include testimonies (mainly of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust), memoirs and diaries, documentation of the Joint and Jewish Self-Help (welfare organizations active in Poland under the occupation), and documents from the Jewish Councils (Judenräte). The section on the documentation of Jewish historical sites conducts research on the remaining Jewish material heritage in Poland.
