A sixth district of the Jewish Social Welfare...

A sixth district of the Jewish Social Welfare Association was formed for the section of the ghetto that contained the densest and the poorest population. This district was set up at Nowolipki 29. Within its borders lay Dzielna, Pawia, Gesia, Smocza, Mila, Lubeckiego, Ostrowska and Niska Streets. The last three of which were inhabited by the very poorest Jews.

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.
