Poets wrote in the Warsaw ghetto. Until the last moment. The texts of Wladyslaw Szlengel (1914-1943), «passed from hand to hand and from mouths to ears». At the end of 1942-beginning of 1943, in an effervescence, Szlengel gathers the poems and gives them to the clandestine archives of Emmanuel Ringelblum. He leaves us, he explains, "document poems" that he read to "people who still believed in their survival."
