According to the German sources 316,822 people were deported from the Warsaw ghetto and exterminated between the start of 1942 and the end of January 1943!
In reality, the number of victims must have been higher. Many were shot while trying to save themselves, often whole families were killed, having been found hiding in their apartments.

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.
