As a Time Capsule From The Holocaust Was Found In Zlocieniec, Poland [34]
Seriously Nicki, during WW2, Poles, especially those of the Jewish faith had many other things to think about than making time capsules.
If however you are interested in this, read about the Warsaw Ghetto archives. Just before the liquidation of the ghetto, the great Polish historian, Emmanuel Ringblum, sealed some of their records, archives, wills, photos, people's diaries etc in twelve metal containers, some of them milk canisters. They buried these in three deep holes, anticipating the destruction of that part of town. Nobody who knew the precise locations survived, however one of the sites was found fairly quickly afterwards, one a little while after that and the third remains to find. It is probably buried under the grounds of the Chinese Embassy on ul. Miodowa however the Chinese have not permitted further excavations.
The part of the archive that was found, called the Oneg Shabbat archive is fascinating and gives a valuable picture of pre-war Warsaw life.
