Anti Fascist Monument

May 18, 1942, during the Second World War, members of the anti fascist resistance group gathered around Herbert Baum and tried to make a fire in Lustgarten. We are in the Museum Island, and the reason they wanted to burn it was that the Nazis did a presentation on "Soviet Paradise" and such propaganda was not liked in the center of Berlin. They then ventured to speak out against war and dictatorship. After that, more than thirty-resistance fighters, Germans and Jews, were killed, mostly by guillotine. More than 500 Jews were killed for being accomplices and taken to the fields. This stone commemorates these events.
