Wolfgang Abendroth's grave
Alexander Abusch (1966)
Anton AckermanninLeipzig, May 1, 1950
Memorial in Berlin-Bohnsdorf for seven Bohnsdorfers killed resisting the Nazi govern­ment. The caption reads: Brought to death, yet see: we live.

This list contains the names of individuals involved in the German resistance to Nazism, but is not a complete list. Names are periodically added, but not all names are known. There are both men and women on this list of Widerstandskämpfer ("Resistance fighters") primarily German, some Austrian or from elsewhere, who risked or lost their lives in a number of ways. They tried to overthrow the National Socialist regime, they denounced its wars as criminal, tried to prevent World War II and sabotaged German attacks on other countries. Some tried to protect those who were being harmed and persecuted by the Nazis, others merely refused to contribute to the Nazi war effort. Most of those on the list worked with others; their affiliated resistance group or groups are listed. Where no group is mentioned, the individual acted alone.
