In mid-June 1942 a rumor spread through the ghetto- in the Aryan city of Warsaw there were posters hung up that read-' 40 days of Jewish Life'.
Also some information about the exterminations of Jews in eastern Poland had made its way into the ghetto.

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.
