Clara Bohm-Schuch

Clara Bohm-Schuch (5 December 1879 – 6 May 1936) (surname sometimes written simply Schuch and first name sometimes Klara) was a German politician of the Social Democratic Party.

Active as a writer in the AWO (Workers' Welfare Association), she wrote poems and essays and spoke at conferences and meetings.

She participated in committees for the protection of children and, together with Emil Wutzky, made possible the opening of the first Berlin home for working youth.

From 1919 to 1920, Clara Bohm-Schuch was a member of the Weimar National Assembly and of the parliamentary Investigatory Committee for the Question of Responsibility for the World War (Untersuchungsausschuss für die Schuldfragen des Weltkrieges).

During the last SPD caucus meeting before the passing of the Enabling Act, the parliamentary representative and Reichsbanner chief Karl Höltermann argued against taking part in the vote because he had been warned by members of the Centre Party that in such a case, the SA would not permit SPD deputies to leave the Kroll Opera House alive.
