In its original conception, the Tenement Committee was to be part of the Jewish Social Welfare Association. Yet this idea collapsed under real-life demands. Soon the committees were transformed into autonomous organs.

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.
