The book is divided not so much chronologically as categorically, with sections like "Commercial Activity in the Ghetto" and "Cultural Life in the Ghetto." Each of these chapters comes with its own appendix and often one or more lists (like, say, a list of businesses and their addresses). Towards the end, it covers the Great Deportation of mid-1942 day by day, then covers the spring 1943 Ghetto Uprising likewise.
