He was a journalist and politician in Germany.Beginning in
February 1933, Haubach, like many SPD members, was persecuted by the Nazi
régime. After his first arrest in 1934, he was detained in Esterwegen
concentration camp. From 1935, he worked as an insurance representative, and
later established contacts with the Kreisau Circle. After the failed attempt on
Hitler's life at the Wolf's Lair in East Prussia on 20 July 1944, Haubach was
arrested and sentenced to death by the Volksgerichtshof. Now very ill, Theodor
Haubach was put to death on 23 January 1945 along with Helmuth James Graf von
Moltke at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin.
