Members of the Resistance
Julius Leber
Julius Leber, the son of a bricklayer, was born on November 16, 1891. After a brief formal education he became a journalist. In 1914 he joined the German Army and during the First World War was wounded twice. He was also decorated for bravery and by the end of the war he reached the rank of second lieutenant. During the German Revolution Leber supported the rebels and helped put down the Kapp Putsch in Berlin in 1920. Over the next few years he became one of Germany's leading opponents of Hitler and the Nazi Party. Leber was arrested and sent to concentration camps because he was a "danger of the state". After being released in 1937 he continued to work with the resistance and attempted to overthrow Hitler. On July 4, 1944, Leber was arrested and charged with being involved in what became known as the July Plot. Although tortured for two months by the Gestapo, Leber refused to confess to his involvement in the failed attempt to kill Adolf Hitler. Julius Leber was found guilty and executed on January 5, 1945.
