This week I am joined by Marquette University Ph.D. Candidate Michele Weber to talk about her research into how the American Military continued to enforce the punishments towards homosexual victims of the Holocaust in the American zone of Occupation from 1945-47. We discuss the establishment of Paragraph 175 of the German Criminal Code &amp; US and German attitudes towards homosexuality prior and post 1933. Michele addresses the two major German movements (Hirschfeld &amp; Radszuweit) that advocated for homosexual rights from the end of the 1890s until June 30th, 1934--the infamous Night of the Long Knives. She then provides two specific examples of arrests of men by the Nazis for homosexual behavior that were subsequently prosecuted by the United States military after Occupation.

Summer is stretching out in front of Nina as one long event, with not a lot going on to break it up. Her parents are super consumed with a big trail case they are preparing for, her older brother Matt is getting ready to head off to college by pulling further away, and her best friend and neighbor Jorie seems more different than ever. So what’s a girl to do?Recommended for grades 6th and up with appeal to grades much older. For a more detailed review click here.
