During work hours, inspections were often carried out in apartment blocks. Anyone found there would be taken off for deportation. For this reason, even sick people, with a high fever, went to work.

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.
