Debating the Slaughter: a Historical Retrofitting.

RUBENSTEIN, MATT
- Abstract
During the summer and fall of 1942, over a quarter of a million Jews were deported from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka death camp, resulting in the death of about 14 thousand Jews during the subsequent uprising in the spring of 1943. The surviving Jews in the ghetto are divided on their views of the conflict, with Yitzhak Zuckerman, a leader of the Jewish Fighting Organization, believing that the Germans are committing unforgivable crimes and that the Jewish partisans have the right to kill soldiers and civilians to stop them. On the other hand, SS-Gruppenführer Jürgen Stroop, who is leading the German campaign to suppress the uprising, sees the Jewish Fighting Organization as terrorists and bandits who do not respect the law or civilized norms of combat. The debate between Zuckerman and Stroop highlights their differing perspectives on the conflict and the reasons behind their actions.
