A young women had hidden her parents in the ruins of a house destroyed by bombings. Every evening, after the raids had finished, she brought them some food. She thought that it was only a matter of time before this horror would cease.

Written between 1952 and 1954, the book is a key work documenting the Warsaw ghetto from its establishment to its final days.

The book is a study of the social and political life of the Warsaw ghetto.
