1. Rosa Luxemburg (Wikipedia). Extract:
Rosa Luxemburg (born Rozalia Luksenburg; 5 March 1871 – 15 January 1919) was a Polish and naturalised-German revolutionary and Marxist theorist. She was a key figure of the socialist movements in Poland and Germany in the early 20th century.(Submitted on April 15, 2025.)
2. Rosa Luxemburg (Left in Paris). Extract:
Luxemburg stayed initially near the Sacré Coeur in northern Paris. She lodged with another Polish revolutionary, Adolf Warszawski (murdered by Stalin in 1937), and his wife. On International Women’s Day, 2010, one of the few plaques to leftists in Paris commemorating her was erected at 21 rue Feutrier.(Submitted on April 15, 2025.)
In 1895 Luxemburg moved to a third floor flat at 7, Avenue Reille in the 14th arrondissement, sharing with another revolutionary, Cezaryna Wanda Wojnarowska.
While editing Workers’ Cause, Luxemburg regularly used to research her thesis at the Polish Library on the Ile St Louis and the French National Library at the Palais Royal (asdid Lenin 15 years later). Her doctorate on the Industrial development of Poland was accepted at Zurich University in 1897.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, April 12, 20253. Rosa Luxemburg Marker - wider view
