A number of converts who had sealed their break with Judaism by baptism, were sent into the ghetto. Baptism meant cutting all ties with Judaism - this was done to avoid anti-semitism.
The ghetto had two catholic churches, always full of worshipers. The sight of the crowd wearing Jewish armbands created a strange impression.

Written between 1952 and 1954, the book is a key work documenting the Warsaw ghetto from its inception to its final days.
How did life continue in the Warsaw ghetto? What organizations took - or should have taken - care of its inhabitants? How did so many survive in such terrible isolation? In answering those questions Michel Mazor details the vanishing of a city.
The book is a study of the social and political life of the Warsaw ghetto.
