This item is an English translation of the introduction to "Es gibt keinen judischen Wohnbezirk in Warschau mehr!" (There Is No Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw Anymore!), also known as the Stroop Report, which was translated by interpreter Virginia von Schon and entered into evidence as U.S.A. Exhibit 275 during the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg.
The Stroop Report in its original form consists of three parts. The first section is an introduction consisting of a casualty list of troops killed and wounded during operations, a list of units involved and their strength in officers and enlisted men, and a narrative summary of events during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The second section is entitled “Tägliche Meldung” (Daily Reports) and consists of thirty one daily reports submitted by Jürgen Stroop's command to SS- und Polizeiführer Ost (SS and Police Leader of Poland) Friedrich-Wilhelm Krüger, one for each day during the period of April 20, 1943 to May 16, 1943 and one report for May 24, 1943. The third and final section of the Stroop Report is the “Bildbericht” (Pictorial Report). It consists of fifty-three photos taken during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
