    Yep. When allied troops freed concentration camps victims, they didn’t free the LGBT+ people. Those who survived were still considered criminals by the allies so they remained imprisoned.

    Berlin was the height of queer culture in the 20s and before. It took us almost a hundred years to rebuild a modicum of tolerance, let alone acceptance. That’s why these regressive pieces of shit are frothing at the mouth to commit their genocides again.

      It’s depressing to think how advanced we might have become as a society had Hitler and the Nazis never come into power. (To say nothing of all the people who wouldn’t have been killed.)

        I wonder if we ever would have even developed nuclear weapons without the Manhattan Project and the urgency with which it operated. It certainly would have taken us a hell of a lot longer without all the “talent” we scraped up from the Nazis.
