Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE East German Porcelain Plate by Order of DDR Interior Ministry in Honor of Artur Becker, 1938 Communist Martyr. This is 100% GUARANTEED ORIGINAL East German item from the Communist era, not a later replica! Translated into English, the inscription running along the edges states that the Higher Officers’ School of the Ministry of Interior stands by Arthur Becker. In never used mint condition. There are two blemishes incurred during production: a tiny spot on the underside where the porcelain mass is not covered by the glaze, and about 1 ½” length of the edge where the same problem occurred. Both are so “invisible” that it takes tilting the plate this and that way against bright light to try to see them. Arthur Becker (1905 – 1938) was a German communist, a functionary of the Young Communist League of Germany and later a member of the German Communist Party. As an opponent of Nazism, he fled to Moscow in 1933 and later became an international organizer of the defense of the Spanish Republic, fighting as Political Commissar of the Thalmann Battalion of the International Brigades. In 1938 he was severely wounded and taken prisoner by the Falangists. After several weeks of interrogation and torture he was shot dead in the prison.
