      1. Lots of people in these replies denying the historical fact that Nazis burned the library of Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the leading library of early trans research. Specifically this photo is from 10 May 1933, 4 days after the raid on the Institute. @KatyMontgomerie/1544052772236050437

      Here's a photo of a uniformed member of the Nazi SA and a student of the Academy of Physical Exercise examining texts raided from the Institute on 6 May 1933.

    For those who need a source, here's a post from Dr. Finn Ballard: berlinguidesassociation.com/on-this-day-10-may-1933-the-nazi-book-burning-on-opernplatz/. There's also lots of sources linked in the Wikipedia article on the Institute: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_f%C3%BCr_Sexualwissenschaft#Nazi_era
