In the Landau brothers' small factory, where the author works, the deportation has begun. The SS raid the factory from time to time and choose their victims from the factory workers. They have already taken the women and children. This time they picked all men who were unshaven: as it happened, they were skilled workers.
Despite everything the people believed that against all odds it is possible to survive. They said to each other - ' Let's hope at least one of us survives to tell people what happened here'.

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.
