See the chap with glasses and an incredible moustache in the bottom right? thatβs Magnus Hirschfeld, the gay Jewish doctor who ran the Institut fΓΌr Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Research) in Berlin. It was largely his books, his research that the Nazis burned.
Everyone else in this photo is a trans person that Dr Hirschfeld worked with. This photo was taken at their christmas party.
It is important to note that this action was not an βoh, Nazis ALSO targetted other propleβ. They directly linked Hirschfeldβs institute and research to claims of a Jewish plot to destroy German society.
If that sounds familiar, itβs because it is the EXACT same rhetoric being rolled out by prominent TERFs for the last few years including, yes, The Wizard Lady.
Antisemitism, racism, and transphobia/homophobia are ALWAYS linked together.
