A Guidebook to a City Which No Longer Exists

Engelking and Leociak's guide offers a painstaking reconstruction of the Warsaw Ghetto's streets, buildings, and daily life, allowing readers to follow the physical layout and tragic history of the ghetto during the Nazi occupation.

Based on archival sources, survivor testimony, and meticulous scholarship, it maps the boundaries and notable sites while describing the social and institutional structures of the ghetto community.

The book is used as a practical companion for walking the former ghetto area and as a scholarly resource for understanding urban dimensions of the Holocaust in Warsaw.

It contributes to commemoration efforts, public memory, and educational programs about the Holocaust in Poland.

The work is notable for combining historical narrative with practical, site-based guidance for contemporary visitors.
