The Poison Kitchen was the name Adolf Hitler gave to a group of journalists who were bent on exposing his tyranny before he came to power in Germany. These men were writers for The Munich Post. The newspaper had been founded by the Bavarian Social Democratic party, but soon took on a life of its own in exposing every facet of the dark underbelly of the Nazi party. From 1921 to 1933, the Poison Kitchen exposed the evil dealings of Hitler and his henchmen in Germany, and the world...to little avail. That these men have largely been forgotten in a time when many news outlets have been stifled, or bought, is among many sad travesties of history. When Hitler finally came to power, The Munich Post offices were subject to a final ransacking by the S.A. and all the members of the paper "disappeared" without a trace. The very street address was stricken from the map and remains so to this day.

The names Martin Gruber, Erhard Auer, Edmund Goldschagg, and Julius Zerfass, among others, are forgotten heroes in the fight against tyranny, oppression, and evil.
