It is fully responsible for the murders of the last few weeks, murders for which it is fully responsible through its abolishing the ban on uniforms for the National Socialist Storm Troopers and by its open patronage of Fascist civil-war troops.
In vain, it seeks to hide its political and moral guilt through quarrels with its allies about the division of power in the state; the blood that has been spilled will forever link it to the Fascist murders" (Zetkin, 1932).

Every war is answered by a new war, until everything, everything is smashed. The devil only knows what the world, what Germany will look like then. That is why I am whole-heartedly for a radical end to this madness, and why my only hope is in a world socialism...

And we had personal ties to Jewish human beings. Many Germans did not. For them everything they heard was... theory. For us, it was our own skin. Those were our friends.

Women’s long standing socio-sexual repression in Western European cultures in particular has led to a dearth of written evidence of lesbianism. Though most medieval and early modern European states technically outlawed lesbianism, courts rarely prosecuted cases of female homosexuality out of a more general disregard for women’s sexuality (Huneke, 31).]]> 2021-06-02 22:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/clararose817/ugxmx7tjd5u68frv/wish/1580905875 clararose817 https://padlet.com/clararose817/ugxmx7tjd5u68frv/wish/1580908132 2021-06-02 22:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/clararose817/ugxmx7tjd5u68frv/wish/1580908132
