"Edition originale, 1950. Sous forme de journal, l'auteur écrit l'histoire du ghetto de Varsovie entre novembre 1939 et mai 1943. Il a consulté de nombreux documents, tant en polonais qu'en yiddish, sur cet épisode poignant de l'extermination systématique des Juifs par les nazis. Il met en valeur la riche spiritualité de certaines des victimes."
