How can we tell the story of a collection, much of which has been irretrievably lost? Can a photograph of an object that no longer exists become a historical testimony in its own right? On 6 September and 1 October 2026, Berlin’s Centrum Judaicum hosted a public event, artistic workshops and an expert workshop organised in cooperation with the Jewish Historical Institute. The events accompanied the exhibition "Images of Identity: The Collection of the Pre-war Jewish Museum in Berlin", currently on view at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw.

On September 16, 2026, the special preview of the exhibition “Will These Words Reach You? The Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto” took place at the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in New York.

In September 1946, the first part of the Warsaw Ghetto Underground Archive was discovered in the ruins of a building at what was then 68 Nowolipki Street. Eighty years on, the Jewish Historical Institute invites you to join us in commemorating the 80th anniversary of the discovery of the first part of the Ringelblum Archive
