Queer identities and politics in Germany: a history, 1880-1945

Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries witnessed key developments in LGBT history, including the growth of the world's first homosexual organisations and gay and lesbian magazines, as well as an influential community of German sexologists and psychoanalysts.

This volume describes these events in detail, from vibrant gay social scenes to the Nazi persecution that sent many LGBT people to concentration camps.
