ANazi Concentration Camp from the Inside

First hand description Of the fa5l
concentration camp at Dachau Is
given in pamphlet by Hans Beim-
Ter, former Communist Reichstag
deputy and one of the few who ever
escaped from g. Nazi camp. The
pamphlet Is printed in English and
published by the Foreign Workers
Cooperative Publishing House OF
Moscow.
1t is a vivid document, but at the
same time it is more than just a
record-it is also call to battle. And
In this lies its value.
Hans Beinier was the leader of
the South BaYarian District OF the
German Communist Party. When in
March, 1888, the Bavarian Peoples
Party surrendered the government to
the Hitlerites, the order was given
to arrest Immediately all the active
Party members. This was done,
though the Fascists failed to arrest
them all.
The Communists succeeded in car
rying on their activities underground,
and that fact made the Brown Shirts
more inhuman in their treatment of
those who fell into their hands.
Beimler describes his own experience
with them.
Suddenly an automobile stopped
In front of my house, from which
six troopers, wearing civilian
clothes, jumped out and arrested
me and friend of mine. who was
then in my room. I was immedi-
ately identified and led away to
the headquarters Of the Munich
police. The. first question they
asked me was: What are you do
ing in the Party?'

regional committee, and j am
deputy Of the. Reichstag,' 1 an

"After the deposition we climbed

trooper with voice of beast

The doors. to the cell would often
open and the commandment would
peep in to see whether the rope
had not yet been used. Once the
commandment seemed to have lost
his patience, and remarked: I'D
like to know how long You will still
hold out, you cowardly swine"
Thus IA days and nights were
passed by Beimler in the concentra-
ton camp at Dachau. At the end
of the IA days, Beimler was given
an ultimatum to END 1t all by five
o'clock the next morning. And II
he was not going to do what was
expected of hirn-"use the rope"--it
would be done for him. But Beim-
Ter succeeded in escaping.
While he managed to escape the
hands of the executioners, SO other

lives, there, deep underground, goes

Where the Cause of War
Has Been Removed

THE war danger arises inevitably out of the very
nature Of monopostic capitalism, viz. the owner
ship OF the of production by small capitalist
class and a complete domination of government by
this class. The imminent danger Is only another
expression of the fundamental crisis of the capitalist
system, which continues its existence only at the cost
Of intenshcaton of its exploitation and oppression
Of the masses at home and in the colonies and the
struggle among the imperia1ist powers for redvsion
Of markets and sources of materials.
"only in the Soviet Union has this basic cause
of war been removed The consistent peace policy Of
the Soviet Union, around which the antiwar struggles
throughout the world must be rallied, made pos
sble by the revolution which overthrow the capitalist
system, reorganized economy the basis of Social
ism, and established powerful government of work
and peasants One cannot fight seriously against
the danger unless fights against all attempts
to weaken destroy the Soviet Union.
"The government Of the United States, in spite of
peaceful profession, is agressivey than fol-
lowing policies whose only logical result is The
whole program of the Roosevelt administration is
