Workers echo
The newspaper Arbeiterecho appeared in 1933 as the successor to Der Syndikalist , the publisher was FAUD (Anarcho-Syndikalisten) and the editorial team was Gerhard Wartenberg. After Der Syndikalist had been published for around 15 years with many confiscations, trials and prohibitions, another title was chosen and was supposed to penetrate the working masses as the "organ of German anarcho-syndicalism" (No. 1, p. 1). FAUD member Fritz Benner (1912–1966) wrote in an article in Arbeiterecho (No. 3, 1933) how members "of other workers' organizations adopted anarcho-syndicalist methods of struggle such as boycotts or tenant strikes" and the SPD and Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold related workers along with communists and syndicalists the resistance against the Nazis led. The monthly newspaper with a circulation of between 8,000 and 10,000 copies, printed in large newspaper format, should be an expression of the labor movement and show the way to a social revolution . On February 16, 1933, the 15th year of the newspaper was banned.
