Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stroop Report is the official German account of the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto from April to May 1943, prepared by the Commanding Officer of the operation, SS-Brigade Leader Jürgen Stroop. Divided up into three sections--an executive summary, copies of the official day-to-day combat reports, and a photographic record, the report contains a number of fascinating insights into the brief and brutal conflict: The Warsaw Ghetto contained a large number of factories in which the Jews worked--and many of these factories were vital to the German war effort. The decision to relocate these factories--and their workers--to Lublin (and the Majdanek concentration camp) was opposed by the Jews in Warsaw, and served as the spark for physical resistance to the Germans. The Jewish residential area was up to that time fully under the control of the elected Jewish Council, and the German forces only intervened in Ghetto affairs when German interests were affected. The Jewish Council had its own police force, complete with armbands and military-style caps, with which it maintained law and order within the Ghetto walls. Under instruction from this Jewish Council, the Jews working in the armaments factories in the Ghetto started building a series of interconnected underground bunkers in 1942. They told the Germans they were constructing air-raid shelters. Two previous German attempts to relocate the Jews of Warsaw had succeeded in emptying the Ghetto of more than two-thirds of its inhabitants. The ferocity of the Jewish resistance initially caught the German forces unaware, and the head of the SS in Warsaw was replaced after the first day by Heinrich Himmler, who ordered Stroop in to suppress the uprising. Stroop's first course of action was to close down all the armaments factories within the Ghetto which had been supplying the Jewish forces with weapons and explosives. The extent of the Jewish autonomy within the Ghetto was revealed when Stroop discovered that some of the factory buildings had even been fortified with concrete to become nearly impenetrable forts. Once the factories were closed down, and relocated to the greater Lublin area along with their workers, Stroop's forces started combing the Ghetto block by block, looking for bunkers and engaging in ongoing street guerrilla warfare until the last Jewish resistance centers were uncovered and broken. The Germans were actively supported in this operation by SS-Auxiliaries recruited from former Russian Army soldiers (the "Trawniki Men") who were drawn from Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. The Stroop Report also describes these forces as "Askaris." In addition, the action to remove the Jews from Warsaw was actively supported by the majority of the local Polish population. Polish police took an active part in the "large-scale action" and also suffered casualties from combat with the Jewish resistance. Polish police also actively helped apprehend Jews who had escaped the Ghetto fighting, and eagerly availed themselves of an offer by Stroop to take one-third of whatever money or riches the apprehended Jews possessed. The approximately 42,000 Jews captured alive in the Ghetto fighting were transported by train to the Treblinka concentration camp. From the Stroop Report, it is clear that the majority of Jews from Warsaw were ultimately moved to Lublin, where the Ghetto factories had been relocated. This edition contains the original German pages alongside full English translations, and also contains all 70 original photographs, many of which are published here for the first time ever.

Book excerpt: A dramatic eye-witness account of the German suppression and destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto from April to May 1943, prepared by the Commanding Officer of the operation, SS-Brigade Leader Jürgen Stroop. The hand-compiled report, of which only three copies were ever made, contains three sections: an executive summary of the entire operation, copies of the official day-to-day combat reports, and 72 photographs, many of which have never before been published. The Ghetto uprising started in April 1943 after the Germans attempted to remove the remaining 40,000 Warsaw Jews-and the factories in which they worked-to Lublin. The Jews, aided by the underground Polish Communist Party, had prepared an extensive network of bunkers to stage an armed uprising. As vividly described in his report, Stroop systematically cleared the Jewish residential area, block by block, using artillery, Waffen-SS troops, Ukrainian and Russian SS-auxiliaries, and large numbers of Polish police. Despite the fanatic resistance, the overwhelming forces deployed by the German authorities-combined with Stroop's policy of first and foremost closing down and moving all the factories which had, inadvertently, been supplying the Jewish resistance with physical means of defending themselves-meant that it was inevitable that the Ghetto would be cleared. Once this mission was accomplished, Stroop leveled what remained of the Jewish residential area and then symbolically blew up the main synagogue in Warsaw-up to that time, one of the largest in the world-to mark the formal end of the clearing of the Ghetto. The one and a half month conflict resulted in the deaths of 14,000 Jews, twelve SS men, two Russian/Ukrainian SS-auxiliaries, and one Polish policeman. Stroop estimated that of the Jewish deaths, some 7,000 had died during the course of the battle, and that a further 6,929 had died while being transported to Treblinka. This edition contains all the original German pages alongside full English translations.

Download or read book The Warsaw Ghetto in American Art and Culture written by Samantha Baskind and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the eve of Passover, April 19, 1943, Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto staged a now legendary revolt against their Nazi oppressors. Since that day, the deprivation and despair of life in the ghetto and the dramatic uprising of its inhabitants have captured the American cultural imagination. The Warsaw Ghetto in American Art and Culture looks at how this place and its story have been remembered in fine art, film, television, radio, theater, fiction, poetry, and comics. Samantha Baskind explores seventy years’ worth of artistic representations of the ghetto and revolt to understand why they became and remain touchstones in the American mind. Her study includes iconic works such as Leon Uris’s best-selling novel Mila 18, Roman Polanski’s Academy Award–winning film The Pianist, and Rod Serling’s teleplay In the Presence of Mine Enemies, as well as accounts in the American Jewish Yearbook and the New York Times, the art of Samuel Bak and Arthur Szyk, and the poetry of Yala Korwin and Charles Reznikoff. In probing these works, Baskind pursues key questions of Jewish identity: What links artistic representations of the ghetto to the Jewish diaspora? How is art politicized or depoliticized? Why have Americans made such a strong cultural claim on the uprising? Vibrantly illustrated and vividly told, The Warsaw Ghetto in American Art and Culture shows the importance of the ghetto as a site of memory and creative struggle and reveals how this seminal event and locale served as a staging ground for the forging of Jewish American identity.

Book excerpt: A cobblestone road. A sunny day. A soldier. A gun. A child, arms high in the air. A moment captured on film. But what is the history behind arguably the most recognizable photograph of the Holocaust? In The Boy: A Holocaust Story, the historian Dan Porat unpacks this split second that was immortalized on film and unravels the stories of the individuals—both Jews and Nazis—associated with it. The Boy presents the stories of three Nazi criminals, ranging in status from SS sergeant to low-ranking SS officer to SS general. It is also the story of two Jewish victims, a teenage girl and a young boy, who encounter these Nazis in Warsaw in the spring of 1943. The book is remarkable in its scope, picking up the lives of these participants in the years preceding World War I and following them to their deaths. One of the Nazis managed to stay at large for twenty-two years. One of the survivors lived long enough to lose a son in the Yom Kippur War. Nearly sixty photographs dispersed throughout help narrate these five lives. And, in keeping with the emotional immediacy of those photographs, Porat has deliberately used a narrative style that, drawing upon extensive research, experience, and oral interviews, places the reader in the middle of unfolding events.
