About Siegfried Aufhäuser
- Siegfried Aufhäuser (1 January 1884, in Augsburg — 6 December 1969, in Berlin) was a German politician and union leader, and from 1921 to 1933, chairman of the largely white-collar AfA-Bund. Aufhäuser joined the SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany) in 1912; after a brief period in the USPD (Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany), he served as an SPD Reichstag deputy from 1921 to 1933.
- Arrested several times in 1933, he emigrated the same year.
- Until 1935 he belonged to the executive committee of the SPD-in-exile, then strongly rejected the party's reformist course, viewing resistance to Hitler from a standpoint of class struggle.
- After 1939, Aufhäuser lived in New York City as a journalist.
- In 1951 he returned to Germany, where he was chairman of the German Salaried Employees' Union (German: Deutsche Angestellten-Gewerkschaft; DAG).
