A German movie crew appeared in the ghetto. They filmed displays in grocery store windows, forcing the owners to decorate them with great care. They would also select the best furnished apartments, those which belonged to the members of the Jewish Council.
All this was carried out without great brutality.

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.
