Cornelis Gerhard Anton de Kom (22 February 1898 – 24 April 1945) was a Surinamese resistance fighter and communist. The Dutch colonizers imprisoned him and exiled him to the Netherlands, where he joined the anti-fascist resistance. He died in the Neuengamme concentration camp.[1]
The New Communist Party of the Netherlands regularly commemmorates De Kom's work as an anti-colonial revolutionary and antifascist resistance fighter.[2] It and its youth wing have argued that De Kom's explicit communism is being ignored or downplayed in mainstream commemmorations and coverages of De Kom.[3]
