In January 1943 the nazis arrived to round up the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto The Jews, resolved to fight it out, took on the SS with homemade and primitive weapons. The defenders were executed or deported and the Ghetto area was systematically demolished. This event is known as The Ghetto Uprising. This image shows SS leader Jurgen Stroop (centre, peaked cap) observing and guiding the action. This image is from the German photographic record of the event, known as the Stroop report.
