Book excerpt: The Way People Live series focuses on pockets of human culture. Using a wide variety of primary quotations, each book in the series attempts to show an honest and complete picture of a culture removed from our own by time or space. Typical of other books in the series, The Way People Live: Life in the Warsaw Chetto received a starred review from Booklist, the review journal of the American Library Association: The words of witnesses add compelling interest to this focused, indepth history of what happened to one Jewish community under the Nazis.... Candid about the vicious Jewish police and the profiteers ... [the author] tells astonishing stories of heroism and endurance.... The documentation is exemplary, with chapter notes and references to the best books on the subject and a long, annotated bibliography for all those who want to read further. A most promising start to a new The Way People Live series and a fine addition to the Holocaust history shelves. Book jacket.
