Notes

[[Magnus Hirschfeld]] opened the [[Institut für Sexualwissenschaft]], after being visited by a gay and trans soldier who later killed himself on the eve of his wedding.

The institute provided:

• Sex education and health clinics
• Advice on contraception
• Research on [[gender]] and [[sexuality]]

Love is as varied as people are. — [[Magnus Hirschfeld]]

The famous image of the Nazi book burnings depicts [[Nazis]] burning the books of the [[Institut für Sexualwissenschaft]].
