Summary/Abstract: Six issues of the clandestine periodical Wiadomości [News] published in Warsaw Ghetto in 1942 and 1943 were preserved in the collections of the 2nd part of Ringelblum Archive”. Five issues of that periodical were reprinted in 1970, and the sixth one can be found in an annex to this article. Wiadomości was published by a group of architects of the Ghetto Archive led by Emanuel Ringelblum, who were also known as Oneg Shabat. That group was an element of the underground network in the Ghetto and the archive commission of the Jewish National Commission, which affiliated Zionist and communist organisations. Its main objective was to spread the news of the extermination of the majority of residents of the Warsaw ghetto and the continuing threat to those who have so far been spared that fate. The world opinion was alarmed with the help of Polish underground organisations.
