in Berlin
THOUSANDS marched through Berlin yesterday to pay their respects 100 years after the brutal murders of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.
Socialists from all corners of Germany and many foreign countries laid red flowers at the tombs of Luxemburg, Liebknecht and other revolutionaries in the Friedrichsfelde Socialist Cemetery in east Berlin on the Sunday preceding the centenary of their deaths, which falls on Tuesday.
