Herbert Baum
Herbert Baum (February 10, 1912 – June 11, 1942) was a
Jewish member of the
German resistance against
National Socialism. Baum organized a large network of resisters within Berlin. Most of these activists, like Baum, were Jewish and had backgrounds in the pre-1933 German-Jewish youth organizations, and most were affiliated with the
German Communist Party (KPD), the
Social Democratic Party (SPD), and/or their youth movements. While often described as a "Communist" (KPD) organization, in reality the
Baum Group was a leftist organization (or network of small groups) that included socialists,
anti-Stalinist leftists, some who were influenced by anarchism, and so on.
