Letters From Prison With a Portrait and a Facsimile (Classic Reprint)

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Letters From Prison With a Portrait and a Facsimile During the war Rosa Luxemburg spent three years and four months in prison. One year - from February 1915 to February 1916 - in a prison in Berlin (Barnimstrasse) for a speech she made in Frankfurt-on-the-Main against military abuses, and another two years and four months - from July 1916 to November 10th, 1918 - in "preventive detention" in Berlin, Wronke and Breslau. She was entirely cut off from the outside world, and was allowed to receive only such books and letters as had passed a rigid censorship. Once a month she was allowed to receive visitors, but only under strict supervision. This punishment was intended to crush the willpower of this most courageous protagonist of the proletariat, and to silence that voice of hers that was ever calling to action, ever branding lies and ever proclaiming the truth. Both these intentions failed. Her iron willpower was not lamed. Throughout her whole term of imprisonment Rosa Luxemburg worked on untiringly. The indescribable loneliness of endless days and nights brought out all the powers of her intellect and spirit.
