#OtD 6 May 1933 Nazis raided the Institute of Sex Research in Berlin, a pioneering org which supported gay and trans rights, and equality for women. It employed numerous trans workers and pioneered gender affirmation surgery. Its library was then burned https://t.co/pDixseOD0n https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10648/nazis-raid-sex-institute?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@workingclasshistory As they say, history doesn't precisely repeat itself, but it sure as f*** rhymes.

@workingclasshistory Given Conservatives the world over are demonising trans rights, are they, as a consequence… Nazis?

@workingclasshistory This was featured on a recent, reasonably good documentary on the persecution of LGBTQ folk by the Nazis. Nothing I didn't know, but chilling to have it all reinforced.

@workingclasshistory there is currently a digitization project in progress that tries to virtually reconstruct the photograph collection of the Institute. Cf. for a description of the project (in German): https://www.digis-berlin.de/projekte/projekte-2024/#tab-tb_km53655-5

First photos will be made available in the course of this year.
