| This book comprises interviews with the last veterans of the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB), accompanied by never previously published photographic "postcards" from ghettos in the Warsaw region, and a reconstruction of the only existing list of the (ZOB) soldiers.The first part of the book, a collection of conversations with the last soldiers of the ZOB, which fought in the Warsaw ghetto uprising, is called ?Still Circling?. The first of the interviews was recorded in 1985 with ZOB commander Marek Edelman, and the last another conversation with him from 2000. Grupinska's other interlocutors are also ZOB 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 Grupinska's interlocutors, as well as never previously published photographs of the ghetto and its surroundings that are reminiscent of postcards.The second part of the book, ?Rereading the List,? is intended to function like a litany of the names of the ZOB members who fought in the Warsaw ghetto uprising. This list was compiled by a group of fighters in 1943 and rediscovered by the author in 2000. Each name is accompanied by a short story about the fighter?sometimes only a sentence or two?as well as any available photograph of them. The list is followed by a reconstruction of the ZOB army, its divisions, and the places they fought.
