The Tenement Committees visitors' saw with their own eyes how the ghetto apartments really looked like. They were hovels, overcrowded in the extreme, true hotbeds of famine and sickness. The vision of the 'City of Death' would loom up before their eyes and it took the greatest effort to organize work.

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.
