File consists of twenty four issues of Unzer Sztyme and two special supplementary issues from 1945-1947. Unzer Sztyme was a periodical written and published in Celle and then later in the Bergen-Belsen Displaced Persons camp, located in what is now known as Lower Saxony, Germany. Unzer Sztyme, which translates to Our Voice in English, provided a Yiddish first hand account of life in the Bergen-Belsen Displaced Persons camp, which was populated by the survivors of the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp. Issues feature texts written by religious leaders, poets, politicians, and others offering accounts of the Holocaust and reflections on life post war. Unzer Sztyme also contains news items, illustrations, photographs and music scores.
Unzer Sztyme was created by Paul Trepman, Raphael Olevski, and David Rosenthal in Celle and originally published by the Yiddish Committee, Unzer Sztyme was later published by the Central Jewish Committee of Liberated Jews in the British Zone of Germany. While a Hebrew type writer was eventually secured through a donation by Sholem Krishtalka, issues one through three were handwritten by Rosenthal.
