The Tenement Committees had a following working method: the members of the Commission visited houses, got to know their residents and took note of the active and capable people there, who could be used for social work. Later the representatives from each were invited to a meeting where the House Committees were formed. These meetings took place every day in the spring and summer of 1940, up until September.

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.
