On this day, 5 November 1921, German Jewish communist resistance fighter and nurse Marianne Prager-Joachim was born. After the Nazis took power, she worked as a forced labourer in the Siemens factory in Berlin, where she joined the Baum resistance group in the plant, which consisted of other Jewish communist workers. She was executed in 1943 for her part in an arson attack on a Nazi anti-communist propaganda exhibition the previous year.
