Assimilated Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, 1940-1943 - Ghetto, 1940 194

Jews in Warsaw during the 1940s were under increasing threat as they were stripped of their rights and forced to live in guarded ghettos away from the Aryan Polish population. This book considers the scope of national and cultural affiliations among people who remained between traditional Jewish and Polish communities, and who with the onset of World War II became the subject of Nazi racial policy as "non-Aryans."
