Ketty Guttmann

Katharine "Ketty" Guttmann (born Katherina Ekey; 29 April 1883 – 25 September 1967) was a German communist politician and campaigner for prostitutes' rights.By the time she had married a man called "Guttmann" she had moved to Hamburg and joined the Social Democratic Party ("Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands" / SPD).[1] Under the slogan "Away from Moscow" ("Los von Moskau") - also the title of a leaflet she published on the subject - she launched a tirade against the Communist Party and the Comintern which she condemned as opportunistic and counter-revolutionary.She called for the Comintern to be broken up because, far from representing the workers' revolution, it simply followed the foreign policy interests of the Soviet Union.[7] For most purposes her footprint disappears from subsequent historical sources, but it is known that she survived the Nazi years and relocated to Burscheid from where she was in correspondence with Ruth Fischer in 1947.
