Karl Schirdewan (1907–1998) was a German Communist who remained active in the illegal Communist Party after the Nazis came to power in 1933. He was arrested in 1934, sentenced to prison for "conspiracy of high treason," and later placed in protective custody. He spent most of the Nazi era imprisoned in concentration camps, including Sachsenhausen and Flossenbürg, until he was liberated by U.S. forces in April 1945 during a forced march.
