For a prolonged period the Jewish police did not receive any money. They only took contributions from the residents. If the event of nonpayment, the building was put under blockade and the tenants could not set foot on the street.

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.
