Carl von Ossietzky was a German journalist and pacifist renowned for his brave efforts in exposing Germany’s secret rearmament activities. He was awarded the 1935 Nobel Peace Prize for his work. As the editor-in-chief of Die Weltbühne, Ossietzky published articles uncovering Germany’s violations of the Treaty of Versailles, resulting in his arrest and imprisonment. Despite persecution by the Nazi regime, he continued to denounce militarism. Ossietzky endured harsh conditions in concentration camps and passed away from tuberculosis after years in police custody.
