The Stroop Report

Author(s):

Jurgen Stroop was the SS General in charge of the final liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto and wrote a report on his handling of the situation. But his propaganda is not the focus of the play; instead the production follows the lives of seven Jewish residents of Warsaw from the entrance of the Nazis to the end of the uprising in the Ghetto. The importance of the insurrection in Warsaw is that it was the first and largest resistance during the war by the Jewish population of Europe.
