The social progressiveness and economic struggles of Weimar Germany make me very nervous about where we are now in the US. History may not always repeat itself but it does rhyme.

In school (US) they taught us about the book burnings but conveniently left out that a lot of the most famous pictures are from this institute being ransacked. The suppression of knowledge continues :/

Thank you for sharing this. I'm always moved when learning about our queer kin and what our ancestors went through so that I can live happily with my partner. Here's to hope and taking these examples as a reason to persevere through our own struggles.

Moral of the story: fascists hate other people living their lives.
