Warsaw Ghetto Uprising The event known as the Warsaw Ghetto
Uprising began on April 19, 1943 and ended on May 16, 1943. A
total of 56,065 Jews were captured by the Germans during the
uprising, and around 6,000 were killed during the destruction of
the buildings in the ghetto. All the photos on this page are
from the photo album of Jürgen Stroop, the Commander of the SS
troops who put down the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. There
are 50 photos included in The Stroop Report, which documents the
destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto during this action. In spite of
the fact that the photo above is included in the Stroop Report,
which was compiled during April and May, 1943, it was identified
by Holocaust survivor Tsvi C. Nussbaum as a photo taken after
the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising on July 13, 1943 in front of the
Hotel Polski on the Aryan side of the Warsaw ghetto, where some
Jews had been living as Gentiles. Nussbaum claims that he is the
seven-year-old boy in the photo and that the woman on his left
is his aunt. Sinc
