During one of such blockades, the author wanted to get out. He saw that one of his former friends-lawyer Sz. was on duty. They looked at each other without a greeting, and he motioned to his agents to open the door.

Written between 1952 and 1954, the book is a key work documenting the Warsaw ghetto from its establishment to its final days.
How did life look like in the Warsaw ghetto? What organizations took - or should have taken - care of its inhabitants? How did so many survive in such a 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.
