}}
Gerhart Seger (16 November 1896 – 21 January 1967) was a German
social democratic newspaper publisher, politician and
pacifist. From October 1930 to March 1933 he was a member of the
Reichstag. Due to the rejection of the
Enabling Act by the Social Democrats, he was among those Reichstag deputies who were persecuted by the
Nazis, arrested and sent to concentration camps. In 1934 he fled to
Prague, where he wrote a sensational account of his experiences in the
Oranienburg concentration camp. Shortly afterwards he emigrated to the
United States, where he became politically active and known as a lecturer.
