Casually enraged about the terrible history teaching in German schools. We had *soooo* many classes on Nazi-timw but...
- nobody mentioned that the books burned also contained the IfS library containing research by and on trans* folx and gays.
- ... even more so, it was the /first/ big target of the book burnings. literally *the* image to illustrate the book burnings on the Opernplatz did *not* primarily target Jews or artists, but consisted mostly of the raided IfS.
- the other book burnings didn't target gender & sexuality literature much, because it all was burnt already.
- to state apparatus was encouraged to deport trans* people to concentration camps 6 months after the first were built in 1933
- large scale deportation by German Jews started only 8 years later, in '41 (this also partially explains their vain hope that they might be spared)
- by then a lot of the trans* and gay folx were already dead, so yeah, the "big sweeps" contained almost none of us.Oh, and we kept a lot of the laws from the Nazis, some are still there 0:-)

And yes, Jews had it bad. Real bad. But a lot of the big numbers are simply due... to there having been more Jews. And the Nazis didn't start with them, but even more marginalized & vulnerable groups who they managed to eradicate almost completely.

@ljrk
And I believe that we still haven't recovered or rediscovered all the knowledge destroyed through the plundering and burning of the IfS books -

in addition to keeping the nazi laws, #germany is still operating gas chambers. #berlin activists, who exposed the gas chambers, are ordered to delete the videos and pay €100.000 to the operators.
