English: The final liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto known as Warsaw Ghetto Uprising took place from April until May 1943. It was done under the command of SS General Jürgen Stroop who was personally overseeing SS and other German forces. During the operation, one or more photographers accompanied Stroop's headquarters, and took about 115 photographs. Of these, Stroop placed 70 pictures in his summary report of the ghetto liquidation, known as the Stroop Report. More images were found in Stroop's possession when he was captured by the Americans after the war.[1] Both copies of Stroop Report and his photograph collection were exhibited at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg in November 1945, sharing the document number 1061-PS, and used in the trial as "US Exhibit 275".[2] Often images from Stroop Collection which were not in the surviving two reports were described as images from the report.
