No special first day cover envelope Special cancellation from 24th February to 23rd April 1981 Erich Baron was born on July 20th, 1881 in Berlin. After studying law from 1900 to 1904 in Berlin, he joined the Social Democratic Party and worked in the following years as an editor and city councilor in Brandenburg. During the First World War he resolutely opposed the "bourgeois policy" of the right-wing leaders of social democracy and joined the USPD. In the November Revolution of 1918 he was elected chairman of the Central Workers' and Soldiers Council in Brandenburg. From 1919 to 1920 Baron worked as editor of the central organ of the USPD "Die Freiheit" in Berlin and actively supported the unification of the left wing of the USPD with the KPD. From 1921 he worked as a domestic editor in the press office of the KPD. Since 1924, Erich Baron has made a great contribution as Genetal Secretary of the Society of Friends of the New Russia and as editor and editor of the magazine "The New Russia" in winning friends of the Soviet Union in Germany, especially in the circles of the intelligentsia. The hate of the fascists, who arrested him on February 27, 1933, and murdered him on April 26, 1933 in a Berlin prison, focused on him.
