Helmut Hirsch (German: [ˈhɛl.muːt ˈhɪʁʃ] ⓘ; January 27, 1916 – June 4, 1937) was a German Jewish artist and activist who was executed for his part in a bombing plot intended to destabilize the German Reich. While a full and accurate account of the plot is unknown, his targets were understood to be the Nazi Party headquarters in Nuremberg, and/or the plant where the antisemitic weekly propaganda newspaper Der Stürmer was printed.
