Abstract
This article talks about telephone communication in the life of the Warsaw ghetto society. My aim was to present – mostly using autobiographical sources – in what situations the residents of the “closed district” used telephones and what they talked about. I analyse how their activity in that field changed during the various periods of their compulsory isolation, from its beginning until the outbreak of the uprising in the ghetto. I also wonder how the possibility to communicate via telephone influenced the everyday existence of that group of Warsaw inhabitants.
