The Stroop Report

A facsimile edition and translation of the official Nazi report on the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto. Rear dust jacket notes: "The Warsaw Ghetto uprising in 1943 embodied one of the rare refusals to submit mutely to Nazi domination over life and death. For twenty-eight days, the Jews, held captive in the Warsaw Ghetto and armed with little more than homemade Molotov cocktails, stood up to an overpowering military force. The Stroop Report is the history of this unequal engagement from the pen of the victor. SS-Major-General Juergen Stroop commanded the self-styled 'grand operation' that obliterated the Warsaw Ghetto and broke the Jewish resistance to further deportations to the death camp Treblinka."
