Summary/Abstract: In her article, Engelking analyzes the situation of Warsaw Jews during the Nazi occupation from the perspective of escapes. She discusses escapes from stigmatization (wearing armbands), hunger (from the closed ghetto, until the deportation), and death (during the Great Liquidation and later). Engelking lays particular emphasis on the Jews’ activity, agency, and determination.
