November Revolution

The World War is over, the Kaiser has been driven out, parliamentary democracy has been won—now the revolution must continue. After Rosa, released from Breslau prison on November 10, arrives in Berlin, she throws herself into the revolutionary process with verve.



She advocates for the power of the workers' and soldiers' councils and, as editor-in-chief of the Rote Fahne (Red Flag), sharply criticizes the new government of the SPD and USPD. With a foresight like few others, she sees how the revolution is being betrayed. However, the masses remain, until the very end, the decisive authority for the realization of socialism, for a social upheaval without terror.


The fourth part of this project shows something like the practical application of the great revolutionary's lifelong fundamental ideas.


The murder of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, however, marks the prelude to the thousands of murders in the following months of the Noske era, and to the millions of murders in the following decades of the Hitler era. It was the starting signal for all the others. It remains unacknowledged, unpunished, and unrepentant. That's why it still cries out to the German heavens.
