    Schlesien zählte in den Nachkriegsjahrzehnten zu jenen Themen, die weitgehend den Vertriebenenverbänden überlassen wurden. Als eine Geburtsstätte des Widerstands gegen das Kapital blieb Schlesien bestenfalls durch den Aufstand der schlesischen Weber Texte 1844 in einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit präsent – vor allem über Heines und Hauptmanns Werke. Als ein Ort antisemitischer Verfolgungen, aber auch als ein wichtiges Zentrum des Widerstands gegen die Nazidiktatur ist Schlesien hingegen fast vollständig vergessen. Hier werden die aus Breslau stammenden, rassistisch und poli- tisch Verfolgten Fred und Martin Löwenberg sowie ihre Familie und Mitkämpfer dem Vergessen entrissen. Quellenmaterial und viele Details über die antifaschistische Arbeit, über Heimatverlust und die neue Zugehörigkeit Schlesiens zu Polen fließen ein. Erstmals wird auch ein Täterprofil des gefürchteten Gestapo-Beamten Josef Kluske aus Breslau erstellt, dessen Prozess in der Bundesrepublik während des Kalten Krieges eingestellt wurde.

  • Producing a Socialist Popular Science in the Weimar Republic
    118 History Workshop Journal s- The German Social Democratic Party, under the Kaiser the largest working-class party in the world, became in the aftermath of Germany's defeat the staunchest defender of the new Republic. It also finally split, so that the reformist SPD confronted the revolutionary German Communist Party (KPD). Socialists had long valued education highly, and ran their own libraries, schools, bookshops and presses. Further, in parallel to the party and the unions, and in opposition to bourgeois clubs and societies, organized workers and their allies had built a dense network of cultural organizations. These included clubs in which workers engaged regularly with science, where they built radio sets or promoted alternative medicine, went hiking or campaigned for free thought.2 Popular science, especially Darwinism, had been a major cultural phenomenon of the German Empire, and many who became socialists had replaced their faith in redemption in the next world with secular confidence in evolutionary progress to a better society in this one. Marxism itself had for this generation become a universal materialist synthesis that seamlessly explained natural and historical development.3 In view of this, it is often assumed that the left simply participated in a general and unremarkable, but also naive and today rather embarrassing scientism. In fact, the pro-modern, pro-science stance on which socialists prided themselves was by no means a consensus. Despite the world renown of German natural sciences and all the achievements they could boast, they did not yet top the cultural pecking order and many of the educated middle class blamed them for destroying traditional values.

  • 1 Mario Keßler Die Zwischengruppen Der Arbeiterbewegung in Der
    Mario Keßler Die Zwischengruppen der Arbeiterbewegung in der Weimarer Republik und ihre politische Bedeutung Zu den als Zwischengruppen bezeichneten kommunistischen und linkssozialistischen Kleinorganisationen gehörten vor allem die Kommunistische Partei-Opposition (KPO) sowie die Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei (SAP), denen im Folgenden das Hauptaugenmerk gilt. Sie waren im strengen Sinne politisch zwischen den beiden großen Arbeiterparteien KPD und SPD angesiedelt und übernahmen, allgemein gesprochen, den revolutionären Radikalismus von der KPD, den Willen zur Verteidigung der Weimarer Republik von der SPD – auch dann, wenn sie diese Republik vom marxistischen Standpunkt kritisierten. Oft werden auch der Leninbund, die Organisation Neu Beginnen, die Trotzkisten, der Internationale Sozialistische Kampfbund und die von der SPD abgespaltenen Roten Kämpfer zu den Zwischengruppen gezählt. Für den Leninbund, der als Linksfraktion aus der KPD ausgeschlossen wurde, trifft dies in den frühen 1930er Jahren teilweise zu, als er in Fragen der Einheitsfront eher eine Position zwischen KPD und SPD bezog und nicht mehr allein die KPD zum Adressaten seiner Botschaft machte. Die Organisation Neu Beginnen wirkte in beiden großen Arbeiterparteien, nicht zwischen ihnen, und zwar mit dem Ziel, als marxistische Kaderorganisation innerhalb beider Parteien Einfluss zu erlangen und Führungspositionen zu übernehmen. Sie wird von einigen Historikern zu den „klassischen“ Zwischengruppen gezählt. Für die Trotzkisten, die sich um Anerkennung durch die KPD, aber nicht der SPD bemühten, ist die Bezeichnung proletarische Kleinorganisation zutreffender. Der Internationale Sozialistische Kampfbund, der ISK, war keine marxistische Organisation, was ihn von den Zwischen- und anderen Kleingruppen unterscheidet. Doch trat auch der ISK für die Einheit der Arbeiterparteien KPD und SPD gegen die Gefahr des Nazismus ein. All diese Gruppen hatten aber politisch keine Chance.

  • Rosa Luxemburg Und Die „Freiheit Der Andersdenkenden“ Teil I: Die Gruppe „Neuer Weg“ Und Die Ausgabe Der „Rus- Sischen Revolution“ Von Rosa Luxemburg in Paris 19391
    Jörg Wollenberg Rosa Luxemburg und die „Freiheit der Andersdenkenden“ Teil I: Die Gruppe „Neuer Weg“ und die Ausgabe der „Rus- sischen Revolution“ von Rosa Luxemburg in Paris 19391 „Erzwingt die Einheitsfront!“ forderten die Anhänger der Sozialistischen Arbei- terpartei Deutschlands (SAPD) und der KPD-Opposition (KPO) vergeblich am 14. Februar 1933 im Schreiben an die Bezirksleitungen von SPD, KPD und ADGB-Gewerkschaften in Bremen. Die KPD verweigerte sich nach wie vor, mit den „Renegaten“ und „öffentlichen Parteifeinden“ zusammen zu arbeiten, die es wagten, sich auf Rosa Luxemburg zu berufen und von denen einige als Repräsen- tanten der Bremer Linken um Paul Frölich und Heinrich Brandler zu den Grün- dungsmitgliedern der KPD und ihrer Parteizentrale gehörten. Die Bremer SPD- und Gewerkschaftsführungen antworteten nicht einmal auf das Schreiben. Sie hielten den Faschismus für eine „Übergangserscheinung“, die man mit dem Stimmzettel am 5. März 1933 besiegen werde (Alfred Faust, MdR).2 Die Zerschlagung der deutschen Arbeiterbewegung nach 1933 führte jedoch zu einer neuen Annäherung an diese Zwischengruppen und damit auch an die Lehren von Rosa Luxemburg in der internationalen Arbeiterbewegung. So ging es u.a. 1935 um die kontrovers diskutierte Frage, mit welchen demokratischen Mitteln Sozialis- ten und Kommunisten zur Einheit der deutschen Emigration beitragen könnten und welche Rolle dabei die „bürgerlichen Mittelschichten“ übernehmen sollten. Die Diskussion um Einheit der deutschen Emigration und die Gründung der Gruppe „Neuer Weg“ 1937 Diese Diskussion gewann 1935 angesichts der Niederlage der Volksfront gegen die Rückgliederung des Saargebietes an Hitlerdeutschland wie durch die Eini- 1 Vortrag bei der Jahrestagung der Internationalen Rosa-Luxemburg-Gesellschaft, Paris, Sor- bonne, 4.bis 5.

  • [Jörg Wollenberg – Bleicherstr
    Die Berliner Olympiade und der „Weltrekord des Terrors“ Ab Juli 1936 betraten zahlreiche deutsche Antifaschisten den Kampfplatz Spanien. Sie hatten Verfolgung und KZ-Haft überlebt. Ihre Absicht war, die legal gewählte Volksfrontregierung in Spanien gegen die von Hitler-Deutschland unterstützten Putschisten um General Franco zu verteidigen. Unter ihnen befanden sich zahlreiche Sportler, die mit Clara Thalmann an der Gegenolympiade der Arbeitersportler in Barcelona teilnehmen wollten. Dazu gehörten Journalisten, Schriftsteller, Künstler und Exilpolitiker wie Waldemar Bolze, Rolf Reventlow, Georges Orwell, Karl Korsch, Carl Einstein, Augustin Souchy, Ludwig Renn und Alfred Kantorowicz1. Einige von ihnen kamen direkt aus den Konzentrationslagern und Zuchthäusern nach Spanien: Der KPD-Reichstagsabgeordnete Hans Beimler nach seiner Flucht aus Dachau, der spätere Hamburger Bundestagsabgeordnete Peter Blachstein (SPD/SAP) aus Hohnstein, Heinz Schramm aus Bremen- Mißler. Letzterer war vor 1933 Sekretär der Roten Hafenarbeiter Gewerkschaft in Bremen und ab 1934 zusammen mit Hans Mikisch und Georg Buckendahl Mitglied der illegalen KPD-Bezirksleitung Nord-West (unter Einschluss des Landesteil Lübeck im Freistaat Oldenburg). Er übernahm in Spanien als Kommandeur zunächst das Bataillon „Hans Beimler“ (Mai-Juli 1937), danach das nach Edgar André benannte Bataillon (Januar 1938). Schramm war zuvor mit Wilhelm Knigge den Verhaftungswellen entgangen, die 1936 in Bremen zu zwei öffentlichen Hochverratsprozessen vor dem Hanseatischen Oberlandesgericht Hamburg
