In late February 1933, the Nazi Party launched its purge of gay (then known as homophile) clubs in Berlin, outlawed sex publications, and banned organised gay groups.

On 6 May 1933, the Deutsche Studentenschaft(group of students) made an organised attack on the Institute of Sex Research. 4 days later, the institute's remaining library and archives were publicly hauled out and burned in the streets of the Opernplatz by members of SA alongside the students. A bronze sculpture of Hirschfel( one of the founders of the institution) , taken from the institute, was placed on top of the bonfire. One estimate says that between 12,000 to 20,000 books and journals, and even larger number of images and sex subjects, were destroyed. Another estimate says that about 25,000 books were destroyed.

The Nuremberg Laws severely harmed the Jewish community socially and economically. Jews convicted under the marriage laws were imprisoned and later sent to concentration camps. Non-Jews stopped interacting with Jews, leading to the closure of many Jewish businesses. By 1938, emigration was nearly impossible, and by 1941, the Nazis began mass exterminations.

Severely mentally and physically disabled people, as well as those perceived to have disabilities, were targeted because of Nazi beliefs that disabled people were a burden both to society and to the state. From 1939 to 1941 the Nazis carried out a programme of ‘euthanasia’, known as the T4 programme. The name T4 is an abbreviation of Tiergartenstrasse 4, the address from which the programme was coordinated. - https://hmd.org.uk/learn-about-the-holocaust-and-genocides/nazi-persecution/disabled-people/

What is “Rhineland bastard”?

Rhineland bastard (German: Rheinlandbastard) was a derogatory term used in Nazi Germany to describe Afro-Germans, born of mixed-race relationships between German women and black African men of the French Army who were stationed in the Rhineland during its occupation by France after World War I.

As one of the most resilient metaphors of this specter, the continued influence of the figure of Rhineland Bastard in the Third Reich confirms the enduring power of the discourse of racial endangerment associated with the Black German population in this period. The response that was repeatedly proposed as a means of neutralizing this threat was sterilization. Calls for the sterilization of the Rhineland children were made as early as 1927, when a local official in the Pfalz, Hans Jolas, wrote to the Bavarian Minister of Health, Sperr, regarding the province's growing concern about the danger posed by the presence of these Black German children, who would soon be coming of age.
