The Militant, 30 March 1946


Our Martyrs


From The Militant, Vol. X No. 13, 30 March 1946, p. 3.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.

 

Under the heading: Killed in the Struggle for Communism, the March 9 La Verité, organ of the Parti Communiste Internationaliste, French section of the Fourth International, publishes the following tribute to four of the heroic German Trotskyist leaders murdered in the Nazi concentration camps:

*

The long list of militants of the Fourth International who have fallen victims of the bloody Hitler dictatorship is not yet closed.

After recently honoring Marcel Hic, General Secretary of our French Section and L. Lesoil, leader of our Belgian Section, both martyrs of the Fourth International, we salute today the memory of four of the most outstanding fighters of our German Section, about whose murder in Nazi prisons we have just learned.

Comrades, the example of your lives as militant fighters and as working class prisoners, the example of your sacrifices will not be in vain. Your heroic struggle will serve as a striking refutation of the capitalist lie that would have us believe in the solidarity of the German people with Hitler.
