The inauguration for a children's center was taking place in a square not far from the Jewish Council. A policeman had noticed, in passing, that his colleague, who was on duty, was not letting in poorly dressed children. Indignant to such injustice, the policeman went to complain to the vice-president of the Jewish Council, the engineer Lichtenbaum. There he was told not to mendle in matters that do not concern him.

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.
