The Stroop Report is one of the most damning and significant pieces of documentary evidence from the Holocaust, meticulously detailing the Nazi suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943.

The Grossaktion Warsaw, also known as the Warsaw Ghetto Grossaktion, stands as one of the most harrowing episodes of the Holocaust.
