From November 1940 to September 1942 community work was not carried around political parties. It isn't hard to understand why. Among other reasons there was the need for secrecy, which had to be strengthened further after many community workers were murdered in April 1942. And there was no liberal system that would give the chance to influence politics through public opinion.

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.
