Biography
Karl Säre (Russian: ÐаÑл СÑÑе; July 2, 1903 â March 14, 1945) was a Soviet and Estonian communist politician. He was the first First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Estonian Communist Party. During World War II, Säre was arrested by Nazi Germany and taken to Sachsenhausen concentration camp, where he died in 1945. The Soviet government avoided the mention of Säre's name in any public sources, as he was suspected of treason by disclosing to Nazi Germany information about the Stalinist officials and pro-Soviet agents who had remained in German-occupied Estonia during the war.
