    Biography
    Jürgen Stroop (born Josef Stroop) was born on September 26, 1895 in Detmold, Germany to Konrad and Katherine Stroop. He joined the Nazi party in 1932 and served as a SS commander in occupied Poland. He was charged with overseeing suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943 during which he ordered that the ghetto be systematically burned down and blown up, and the Jewish synagogue destroyed. All survivors of the uprising were either immediately killed or deported to extermination camps. After the war, he was prosecuted during the Dachau Trials and trials in Warsaw. He was ultimately executed for crimes against humanity on March 6, 1952 in Warsaw, Poland.
