Carl von Ossietzky ( 03 October 1889 – 04 May 1938) was a German journalist and pacifist. In 1929, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
His work was focused on promoting peace, democracy, and human rights, and opposing militarism and totalitarianism. He was a journalist, editor, and political activist, and used his platform to speak out against the rising Nazi regime in Germany during the 1930s.
Ossietzky was the editor of the magazine “Die Weltbühne” from 1927 to 1933, which was known for its progressive and anti-war views. He also wrote extensively on issues such as disarmament, international relations, and civil liberties. His writings and speeches were influential in shaping public opinion and political discourse in Germany during the interwar period.
He was particularly focused on exposing the rearmament and militarization of Germany under the Nazi regime. He was a strong critic of Hitler and the Nazi Party and worked tirelessly to warn the world about the dangers of Nazism and fascism.
Despite being imprisoned and tortured by the Nazis for his political views, Ossietzky continued to write and speak out against totalitarianism until his death. His work inspired generations of activists and thinkers who continue to fight for peace and democracy today.
He died on 4 May 1938, in Berlin, Germany.
