Filimon Sârbu

Filimon Sârbu (August 10, 1916 – July 19, 1941) was a Romanian communist activist and anti-fascist militant executed by the pro-Nazi authorities during World War II.

Due to lack of material means, the young Sârbu was forced to abandon school after completing primary education, and in October 1930 he started as an apprentice lathe operator at the Workshops of the Directorate of Maritime Ports in Constanța.

After joining the Union of Communist Youth (UTC) in 1941, he received the task to organize sabotage acts against the fascist forces in the city and in the port.

According to Vartan Arachelian [ro] and Corneliu Coposu, Sârbu was part of a group who set fire to a German military depot in Constanța, and signaled Soviet warplanes at night.

On June 22, 1941 (the day Operation Barbarossa was launched), Sârbu was arrested along four other anti-fascist militants by Romania's secret police during a clandestine meeting on the Pescărie beach, in Mamaia.
