On this day, 18 August 1942, German Jewish communist anti-Nazi resistance fighter Marianne Baum was executed in prison in Berlin. Forced into slave labour in a Siemens factory, she and her husband Herbert set up a resistance group and went underground, organising demonstrations, leafleting, producing anti-Nazi pamphlets, and they firebombed a Nazi anti-communist and anti-Semitic propaganda exhibition organised by Goebbels. This is a collection of writings on the Baum resistance group: https://libcom.org/history/herbert-baum-group-blog https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1190655461119602/?type=3
