Sixty people were crammed into every freight car. On certain days even a hundred people were squeezed in. Now it was already impossible to breathe. The air barely penetrated through a narrow opening in the wall.
The cars were sealed from the outside. It was not possible to escape.

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.
