During the Second World War, much is known about the Holocaust and what the Nazis carried out inside concentration camps such as Auschwitz. Before prisoners made their way to extermination camps, many were held in Ghettos inside cities. These were horrifically cramped and overcrowded areas of towns and cities just for Jews for example, as they were kept segregated. The Nazis inflicted horror inside the ghettos practically starving thousands to death, and disease was also rampant. The largest ghetto inside Poland was the Warsaw Ghetto, where one man was sent to destroy it and everything that came with it.
Jürgen Stroop was a brutal SS leader who was tasked with liquidating the Warsaw Ghetto. He burned most of it to the ground, executed and murdered dozens of thousands of innocent people and carried out a reign of terror over the area. Along with the SS it was said within Warsaw he was responsible for the deaths of over 50,000 people. These claims are backed up by Stroop himself as after he had dealt with the Warsaw Ghetto he published a detailed report documenting his sadistic and brutal days inside the system. The Ghetto system sometimes is a forgotten part of the Holocaust, however it was an intensely barbaric part that came before prisoners went to camps such as Treblinka or Auschwitz.
After the war, Stroop was sentenced to death twice. The US Army sentenced him to death for his role in execution 9 American POWs, but also the Polish people would get their revenge after World War 2. They tried him for the crimes against humanity he committed and for this, he was finally executed.
