»Persecution of trans* and gender-nonconforming people in the Nazi dictatorship. A lecture by Jako Wende“«
Description
The situation of trans and gender-nonconforming people during the Nazi dictatorship has so far received little research. Trans activist Jako Wende wants to close this gap and has documented many individual fates with the help of historical files. The lecture uses examples to illustrate the persecution. For example, contemporary witness statements can shed light on the situation of trans* and/or gender-nonconforming people in the Lichtenburg concentration camp under National Socialism. To show the conditions in the concentration camp, Kurt von Ruffin, who was in the Lichtenburg concentration camp because of Section 175, also has his say.
The event is part of the supporting program for the exhibition “Exclusion from the national community. Persecution of homosexuals in the Nazi era” – a work result of the research projects and the Rosa Winkel working group at the Kulturring in Berlin eV since 1997.
The exhibition and events are carried out in a cooperation between the Rat&Tat Center for Queer Life and the Stadtbibliothek Bremen with the support of the Gay Friends Bremen Foundation. The exhibition was made available by the Kulturring Berlin and the AG Rosa Winkel.
