Podcast: The Warsaw Ghetto and the Holocaust
In this powerful and deeply human episode of History Shorts, historian Dr. Katarzyna Person, Director of the upcoming Warsaw Ghetto Museum and author of The Hour of Revenge, joins the show to explore some of the most haunting, silenced, and complex chapters of Holocaust history. From her lifelong work on the Ringelblum Archive, a secret collection of documents buried beneath the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto, to her research on Jewish honor courts, revenge, and survival in the post-war years, Dr. Person unpacks what it means to write history from inside moral catastrophe. Together, we discuss memory, justice, trauma, motherhood, and the role of historians in confronting historical truths many have long avoided.
