Ep. 57- Magnus Hirschfeld, the trans community, and the Nazis with Brandy Schillace

1 tim 20 min•23 juni 2025

When the Nazis carried out their infanous and well-documented book burning on the Opernplatz in May 1933, the literal fuel for that fire came from Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science, an institution that both studied and provided treatment for LGBTQ Germans.

In this episode, I talked with Brandy Schillace about Hirschfeld, the struggle for gay rights in Weimar Germany, and the Nazi assault on the gay community as well as the connections between this homophobia and antisemitism and genocide.

Brandy Schillace, PhD is an independent historian and journalist.
