Facsimile of Stroop's report on the clearance and destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto, presenting the original document page by page with parallel English translation. After declassification post-Nuremberg, the report was published (in Germany and controversially) in 1960 due largely to the efforts of writer Gunter Grass, with Wirth providing editorship. This is the first appearance in English of a harrowing document, all the more so since it was never intended for publication. Enser, p.236.
