Although most of the Jewish policemen were considered to be corrupted criminalists, there were some exceptions.
The author had a friend-Kleinerman, who joined the police as soon as the ghetto was created. He met him during the winter of 1942. He was surprised to find out that his friend was working as a patrolman. His education qualified him for a higher position. The friend explained to the author that he was working in the office, but so many abominable things happened there, that, because he was not allowed to resign, he had chosen to become a patrolman.

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.
