The lawyer T. wanted to know if he would be struck from the ranks of the Jewish Social Welfare Organization if he joined the Jewish police. The author told him that there is no provision for removal from office, but he tried to discourage him.
The author had the impression that his friend followed his reasoning. Unfortunately he saw him wearing a policeman's uniform during the deportation action.

Written between 1952 and 1954, the book is a key work documenting the Warsaw ghetto from its establishment to its final days.
How did life look like in the Warsaw ghetto? What organizations took - or should have taken - care of its inhabitants? How did so many survive in such a 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.
