  • He was born in Kiev of jewish parents. After studying law, he left Russia at the outbreak of the civil war and moved to Warsaw, where he became active in social movements and, in 1942, was arrested by the Nazis. While bound for Treblinka he managed to escape and returned to Warsaw under an assumed name - Michael Maciejewski. He lived in Paris from the end of the war until his death.

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