This week, Berliners commemorated the murdered socialist Karl Liebknecht and his Jewish comrade Rosa Luxemburg, with a procession to their gravesite in the Friedrichsfelde Cemetery. During World War One, Liebknecht had vehemently criticised Kaiser Wilhelm II, militarism and destruction; Luxemburg was integral to the formation of the Marxist 'Spartacus League,' and in turn to the German Communist Party. Within weeks of the end of the War, Liebknecht and Luxemburg would be captured by right-wing militia known as 'Freikorps,' many of whom would support the nascent Nazi Party. After torturous interrogation, Liebknecht and Luxemburg were both murdered on the night of January 15, 1919.

Tonight, let's remember Dr. Julius Leber, executed by the Nazis on January 5th, 1945. Leber was from a working-class family in Alsace, joined the Social Democratic Party (SPD) as a young man and volunteered for service in World War One, after which he obtained his doctoral degree. He edited a social-democratic newspaper, and became a delegate to the Reichstag in 1924. Immediately after the Nazis ascended to power, he was sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp for four years. Subsequent to his release, no longer able to work in politics, he became a coal merchant - a job which enabled him to support his wife and children, and provided him with camouflage for his ongoing resistance activities. A confidant of Claus von Stauffenberg, whose attempt to assassinate Hitler failed in July 1944, Leber was implicated and taken once more into custody. He was tried (see photo) at the People's Court in Kleistpark, Schoeneberg, and sentenced to death on October 20th, 1944. A few months later, he was hanged at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin.

For this super view of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (its steeple broken in WWII) you’ll need to go to the top storey of the nearby Karstadt department store!
