The Nazis not only targeted Jewish intellectuals who studied queer perspectives but also sought to eliminate any suggestion that queer life was or could be normal.
The Nazis worked toward their goal by encouraging the public to draw a connection between overly permissive educational practices and 'sexual perversion.'
During the Weimar era, German educators undertook progressives reforms, eliminating corporal punishment and focusing on individual development and civic participation.
Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft became a target for Nazi propagandists, who used his name and institute to symbolize sexual perversion and bourgeois threat.
