"The establishment and subsequent liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto has become an icon of the Holocaust experience, yet, remarkably, a full history of the ghetto has never been written, despite the publication over some sixty years of numerous memoirs, studies, biographical accounts, and primary documents. The Warsaw Ghetto: A Guide to the Perished City is this history, researched and written with painstaking care and devotion over many years and now published for the first time in English." "In this book the authors explore the history of the ghetto's evolution, detailing the daily experience of its thousands and thousands of inhabitants from its creation in 1941 to its liquidation in 1943. Encyclopedic in scope, the book encompasses a range of topics from food supplies to education, religious activities to the structure of the Judenrat. Separate chapters deal with the mass deportations to Treblinka in July 1942 and the famous uprising in April 1943. Detailed original maps identify the locations of businesses, social institutions, medical facilities, and more, while biographical notes, a glossary of terms, and an extensive bibliography complete this masterful work of restoration."--BOOK JACKET.

The book is divided not so much chronologically as categorically, with sections like "Commercial Activity in the Ghetto" and "Cultural Life in the Ghetto." Each of these chapters comes with its own appendix and often one or more lists (like, say, a list of businesses and their addresses). Towards the end, it covers the Great Deportation of mid-1942 day by day, then covers the spring 1943 Ghetto Uprising likewise. There's also a list of prominent characters from the ghetto in the back of the book, with short paragraphs explaining who they were, what their backgrounds were, what they did and what their fate was -- if known. But make no mistake: this isn't just an encyclopedia. It's far more detailed than that.
Because this is the definitive text, I would not recommend it to beginners who don't know much about the Warsaw Ghetto. There's so much information, they'd drown in it. There are plenty of other, smaller, books to provide an introduction to the Ghetto. But for serious Holocaust researchers who have read extensively already, this is definitely worth plowing through even if it does take weeks. ( )
