Question

In the report below, a Nazi officer describes the evacuation of the Warsaw ghetto in 1943.

"The execution of this transfer order [to move all the Jews in the ghetto to concentration camps] proved to be very difficult, since the managers as well as the Jews resisted in every possible way . . . The conditions discovered there are indescribable. I cannot imagine a greater chaos than in the Ghetto of Warsaw.”

—SS General Jürgen Stroop, 1943

Which statement below is supported by information in the report?

Calm prevailed during this transfer operation.
The ghetto was a place where the Jewish people in Warsaw lived happily.
More than 400,000 people were jammed into the Warsaw ghetto.
Some Jewish people fought against the Nazis rather than be sent to concentration camps.

Answer 1

Some Jewish people fought against the Nazis rather than be sent to concentration camps.

Stroop’s phrase that “the managers as well as the Jews resisted in every possible way” indicates active resistance rather than calm or happiness; the other statements are not supported by the excerpt.
