One of The Biggest Uprisings in The Holocaust

            The Warsaw ghetto was one of the biggest and most terrible uprisings in the Holocaust. This situation happened in the 1940’s in Poland; SS and police units deported 260,000 of the Jews to the Treblinka killing center and they sent over 11,500 Jews to forced labor camps. Between July 22 and September 12, 1942, they deported and murdered around 300,000 Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. Many teenagers and young adults were tortured and were forced to work. Jurgen Stroop was one of Hitler’s partners and he was responsible for the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto. He was born in Germany in 1885. In 1943 Jurgen Stroop became the SS and political leader of Greece. After the war Stroop was arrested and was executed at Warsaw on September 8^th, 1951.
