Haase speaking at funeral of revolutionary victims, Berlin, November 1918. In this photograph, Hugo Haase (1863-1919) is standing on a platform addressing a crowd at the funeral of the victims of the Berlin Revolution of 9 November 1918. Unlike the other photographs of the funeral, the crowd at this point appears almost exclusively male and military. Haase, a co-founder of the Independent Social Democratic Party, was a joint chairman of the Council of People's Commissioners which was set up by the revolution.
