Josef Frank (25 February 1909, Prostějov - 3 December 1952, Prague) was a Czechoslovakian Communist politician.
Between 1939 and 1945 he was imprisoned in Buchenwald concentration camp.[1]
In 1952 he was expelled from the party. He was subsequently arrested and sentenced to death by hanging in the Slánský trial, a show trial orchestrated from Moscow.[2] In 1968 he was made a Hero of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in memoriam.[3]
Frank is the central character of Howard Brenton's 1976 play Weapons of Happiness, in which he is imagined not dead, but rather living in exile.[4]
