"Who Will Write Our History?" by Samuel D. Kassow is a book that tells the story of a group of Jewish scholars and community leaders who formed a secret organization called the Oyneg Shabes during the Nazi occupation of Warsaw. The group's mission was to document the daily life and experiences of Jews in the ghetto, with the hope that their writings would serve as a testament to the atrocities committed by the Nazis and the resilience of the Jewish people. Kassow's book draws on the Oyneg Shabes archives, which were hidden during the war and discovered after its end, to provide a detailed account of the group's activities and the impact of their work. The book sheds light on the importance of preserving historical records and the power of storytelling in the face of oppression.
