This book comprises interviews with the last veterans of the Jewish Fighting Organization (ŻOB), accompanied by never previously published photographic postcards from ghettos in the Warsaw region, and a reconstruction of the only existing list of the (ŻOB) soldiers.

The first part of the book, a collection of conversations with the last soldiers of the ŻOB, which fought in the Warsaw ghetto uprising, is called Still Circling. The first of the interviews was recorded in 1985 with ŻOB commander Marek Edelman, and the last another conversation with him from 2000. Grupińska's other interlocutors are also ŻOB veterans-rank-and-file soldiers, men and women. They relate the stories of their homes and backgrounds--some were Bundists, others from Zionist or religious families--followed by their recollections of how they experienced and remembered the uprising. This provides several unique perspectives on shared episodes. Images include portraits of Grupińska's interlocutors, as well as never previously published photographs of the ghetto and its surroundings that are reminiscent of postcards.
