Who Will Write Our History

Bethlehem Hebrew Congregation, in partnership with The Colonial Theatre, will join venues all over the world in presenting the documentary film “Who Will Write Our History”, as part of BHC’s annual observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day.

In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed the 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars and community leaders decided to fight back. Led by historian Emanuel Ringleblum and known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, this clandestine group vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. Now for the first time their story is told as a feature documentary written, produced, and directed by Roberta Grossman and executive produced by Nancy Spielberg and featuring the voices of 3-time Academy Award nominee Joan Allen and Academy Award winner Adrien Brody.
