Paul Frölich

A KPD deputy in the Reichstag on two occasions, Frölich was expelled from the party in 1928, after which he joined the organized German Communist Opposition movement.

[3] Frölich worked as a journalist during the first decade of the 20th century, writing for the Hamburger Echo from 1910 to 1914 and for the Bremer Bürgerzeitung from 1914 to 1916.

[1] This was later to become the official organ of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), which Frölich helped to establish at the end of December 1918.

[1] He was re-elected to this position by the 1920 Congress of the KPD; at the end of the year, he was squeezed off the body as a result of a merger of that organization with the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD).

Following the rise to power of Adolf Hitler in 1933, Frölich was imprisoned, remaining in custody in Lichtenburg concentration camp until December of that year.

[1] Following the 1940 fall of France to the fascists, Frölich hurriedly emigrated again, this time to the United States, where he remained until after the conclusion of World War II.

His book about her, first published in German in 1928, has been translated into a number of languages, including Spanish, English, French, Italian, Slovenian, Korean, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, and Portuguese.
