Hi Marisa,

This topic looks really interesting and I am looking forward to reading the section on the destruction of archives and records in genocide. That seems to be a common theme in history that conquering peoples destroy archives. One could say that this destruction is a form of genocide as all or almost all records/evidence of a population are erased. Will you discuss this view point in your wiki?

Looking forward to reading more.

Hi Sarah,

Good insight - I will definitely discuss records destruction as genocide (or at least part of genocide) in the "Destruction and (Re)construction of Archives" section. There are a few examples, which I'll elaborate on in the wiki, but related to that thought - the Oneg Shabbat archives was an effort to document life in the Warsaw ghetto since the residents of the ghetto thought that all evidence of their existence would be destroyed. If I can find more examples of this kind of archival activity I might include a section on 'archives as resistance'.

Thanks for the feedback.
