The Tenement Committees workers were volunteers. They did not receive any money from their activities. Despite that fact they were highly involved in their work, which totally absorbed them, without leaving the leisure to reflect on the horror they lived in.
One of them was Isaac Notes. Despite his terrible living conditions and the loss of his family, he continued to help the poorest.

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.
