A compendium of knowledge about the Warsaw Ghetto, combining previous findings with the latest research by scientists. The entries selected in the publication concern the most important institutions of the Warsaw Ghetto: both official (e.g. the Jewish Council), those operating openly (e.g. Toporol or ZTOS), and conspiratorial (e.g. political parties or underground organizations), as well as the most important events in the history of the ghetto: its establishment, the great liquidation action or the ghetto uprising. The history of the Warsaw Ghetto holds a special place in the historiography of the Holocaust. The closed Jewish district of Warsaw was the largest ghetto established by the Germans (at its peak, the number of its inhabitants reached 460,000 people). It was here that the Oneg Shabbat conspiratorial group operated, collecting materials known today as the Ringelblum Archive. All the most important Jewish parties and youth movements operated here - the Warsaw ghetto was the center of Jewish conspiratorial activity in occupied Poland during World War II. The first information about the Holocaust was gathered here, and then the reports were passed on to the Polish underground and the government in exile. The Warsaw ghetto was a field of activity for various social associations, and a cultural life that was suppressed but not completely destroyed by the occupiers took place there. Jews faced the situation they found themselves in during the occupation in various ways - the diversity of their reactions to the reality of the ghetto is the most important topic of this book. We decided that this microcosm, a fragment of war reality, deserves detailed research.
