TRIBUNAL - Organ der Roten Hilfe Deutschlands

Cover of the communist periodical Tribunal, published in Berlin by Rote Hilfe Deutschlands, a solidarity organisation closely associated with the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) which provided legal assistance and support to imprisoned workers and political activists. The dramatic cover design depicts two workers standing before a background scene of mass political mobilisation. A Soviet-style Red Army figure with a red star on his cap stands behind a young worker, symbolising revolutionary struggle and international solidarity. The slogan at the bottom reads: Gemeinsam zerschlagen wir die Plane der faschistischen Kriegshetzer und ihrer Mordgarden. Together we will smash the plans of the fascist warmongers and their murder gangs.') Publications of the Rote Hilfe documented political repression, labour struggles and violence against communist activists during the final years of the Weimar Republic. The magazine combined investigative reporting with propaganda imagery intended to mobilise workers against fascism and state repression
