    Crónica del gueto de Varsovia
    Polish-Jewish relations during the Second World War
    • A man of towering intellectual accomplishment and extraordinary tenacity, Emmanuel Ringelblum devoted his life to recording the fate of his people at the hands of the Germans. Convinced that he must remain in the Warsaw Ghetto to complete his work, and rejecting an invitation to flee to refuge on the Aryan side, Ringelbaum, his wife, and their son were eventually betrayed to the Germans and killed. This book represents Ringelbaum's attempt to answer the questions he knew history would ask about the Polish people: what did the Poles do while millions of Jews were being led to the stake? What did the Polish underground do? What did the Government-in-Exile do? Was it inevitable that the Jews, looking their last on this world, should have to see indifference or even gladness on the faces of their neighbors? These questions have haunted Polish-Jewish relations for the last fifty years. Behind them are forces that have haunted Polish-Jewish relations for a thousand years.

      Polish-Jewish relations during the Second World War
    • Cuando el ejército nazi invadió Polonia en 1939, Emanuel Ringelblum -profesor, historiador, militante socialista y sionista- se hallaba en Ginebra, pero decidió volver a Varsovia, su ciudad. La voluntad de registrar los acontecimientos le llevó a crear, ayudado por una serie de colaboradores, un archivo cuyo material, además de fundamental para una posterior reconstrucción histórica, sirviera clandestinamente a los aliados como fuente de información. Su aportación personal al archivo forma esta «Crónica del gueto de Varsovia», un texto realmente excepcional en la literatura de la Shoá, pues no es un testimonio del yo, sino un trabajo rigurosamente objetivo, concebido y realizado con criterios historiográficos. Ringelblum consignó cuanto ocurría en el gueto, desde su creación hasta la deportación a los campos de exterminio, sin descuidar un solo detalle de la vida política, económica, social y cultural. El resultado es una obra única, insólita e imprescindible para la verdadera historia del siglo XX.
