Today in Labor History February 28, 1933: Erich Mühsam, was arrested and blamed for the Reichstag fire. The fire was actually set by Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch council communist.
Mühsam was sent to the Oranienberg concentration camp, where he was tortured and murdered. Mühsam was an anarchist, poet and playwright who condemned Nazism and satirized Hitler. In the wake of the fire, President von Hindenburg issued the Reichstag Fire Decree, suspending civil liberties, and launching a "ruthless confrontation" with the Communists, making the fire pivotal in the establishment of Nazi Germany. They went on a witch hunt, mass-arresting Communists, including members of Parliament, crippling their participation in the March 5th special elections, which allowed the Nazi party to expand their plurality in parliament. Hitler had called in hopes of moving the Nazi party from a plurality to a majority through quasi-legal means. Sound familiar?

Today in Labor History February 27, 1933: Berlin’s Reichstag parliament building was torched. The fire occurred exactly four weeks after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. Marinus Van der Lubbe, a Dutch anti-authoritarian Council Communist, claimed responsibility. Disillusioned by the lack of resistance to fascism, he intended for his act to spark a working-class rebellion. However, Hitler used the fire as a pretext to claim that Communists were plotting against the German government, to suspend civil liberties and violently suppress Communists.

Der 1. Februar 1933 war nicht die Machtergreifung Hitlers – diese hatte am 30. Januar bereits stattgefunden. Vielmehr war die Reichstagauflösung ein strategischer Schritt zur Legalisierung und Konsolidierung bereits beschlossener Machtverhältnisse. Was folgte, war eine der düstersten Epochen der Menschheitsgeschichte.
