The Criminal Was Proud: the Stroop Report - Memory of the World, episode 8

🟥 In April 1943, German troops commanded by SS-Brigadeführer Jürgen Stroop went about emptying the Warsaw Ghetto. The Jews fought back, and Stroop needed four weeks to crush their resistance, all the while burning, killing and sending trainloads of people to Treblinka gas chambers. The liquidation was documented in the famous "The Jewish Quarter of Warsaw is No More" album, known as the Stroop Report. Its significance as a unique source of knowledge on the Holocaust was recognized by UNESCO, which included the document, kept in the IPN Archive, into its Memory of the World program.
📖 👉 We’re about to turn several Report pages, see the ghetto insurgents who fought against the odds, explain aspects of the German-perpetrated murder of Jews in occupied Warsaw, and look the Report protagonists, both perpetrators and victims, in the eyes. In episode 8 we are focusing on Jürgen Stroop who presented comprehensive reports from every single day of the campaign. The criminal was proud not only of his ‘success’ but also of the ruthless attitude of his soldiers towards the Jews and Poles.
