An institution called the Transferstelle disposed the food that came into the ghetto. The quantities let in were so meager that no human being could survive. People lived only thanks to the food-smuggling made possible by the corruption of the German sentries.

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.
