Archive of Rosa Luxemburg

Jörn Schütrumpf remembers the last of the great Rosa Luxemburg scholars, Annelies Laschitza, the editor of the German-language Collected Works, who died last week in hospital. 

We the undersigned protest against the removal of a plaque commemorating the birthplace of Rosa Luxemburg in the Polish city of Zamość.

Celebrating #WomenInTranslation month this August, our last post in this series highlights foreign editions of Kate Evans' illustrated biography of Rosa Luxemburg, the Polish-born German Jewish revolutionary whose life, work and writings in German, Polish and Russian have inspired generations in the nearly 100 years since her untimely death.

Befitting the status of an icon for worldwide socialist revolution, Kate Evan's beautifully drawn Red Rosa: A Graphic Biography of Rosa Luxemburg has been translated since its 2015 publication into Korean, Turkish, Slovenian, Spanish and French.
