She wrote and published a now lost book titled Lesbian Love. However, she was arrested for obscenity and disorderly conduct when she hit on an undercover female cop and gave her a copy of the book. She was deported back to Poland and in 1930 she moved to Paris. In 1943 she and her girlfriend, Hella Olstein Soldner were arrested and taken to Auschwitz where she passed away.

Chawa Zloczower was born in 1891 in Poland. Having emigrated to the United States during the 1920s, she ran with her partner, Swedish painter Ruth Norlander,[2] a business named The Gray Cottage in Chicago, at 10 E Chestnut St.[3] She was a friend of anarchist writer Emma Goldman.[4]

In 1925, she opened Eve’s Hangout, also known as Eve Addams’ Tearoom in Greenwich Village. On the outside, she hung a sign that read: "Men are admitted, but not welcome."[1][5]

She was convicted by New York City's Vice Squad of obscenity for her collection of short stories Lesbian Love (written under the name Evelyn Adams) and for disorderly conduct after undercover police detective Margaret Leonard entered Eve's Hangout and was shown the book.[6] Leonard said Kotchever made overt sexual advances to her. After a year in jail, where she probably met Mae West, at Jefferson Market Prison,[7] she was deported to Europe.[1][5]

In Paris, she ran a bookstore and a café named Le Boudoir de l'Amour in Montmartre (Brevities, November 16 1931).[8] She met other artists such as Henry Miller, June Miller, and Anaïs Nin there,[9] all regulars of Le Dôme Café, called Dômiers, in the Bohemian neighborhood of Montparnasse.

In the 1930s, she fought against fascism. In accordance with her political ideas, she supported the Second Spanish Republic, against the regime of General Francisco Franco.[10] She regularly corresponded with Ben Reitman.[11]

In 1943, she was arrested in Nice with her girlfriend Hella. The two women were imprisoned in the Drancy internment camp, near Paris. Deported to Auschwitz, the two women were murdered by the Nazis on December 17, 1943.[12]

Political Histories *gay edition*: Depression Era Oppression

The 1920s were incredibly progressive, especially considering the decades to follow. Due to the economic hardship many faced in the 30s, the country took on a much more conservative and Victorian world view with many of the famous queer actors of the time being forced into retiring or hiding their sexuality. Worse still was the political interference with the queer community. State sodomy laws and other discriminatory policies were put in place to crack down on the growing gay community. Around this time homosexuality was also declared a mental illness. Using these ideas, police around the country began raids and investigations to punish the queer community. In February of 1903, police in New York City conducted the first raid on a queer space in America. 34 men were arrested in the Ariston Hotel Baths and it would mark the beginning of an era. Later in 1926, another of several monumental raids would occur. Eve’s Hangout was a lesbian cafe in Greenwich Village headed by Eva Kotchever an open lesbian that wrote about her sexuality in her book Lesbian Love. Her cafe was raided by the New York City Police leading to Kotchever’s arrest and eventual deportation. Another interesting thing to note when speaking on queer culture of the time is the YMCA. The YMCA liked to boast about its values on male brotherhood and community that was very similar to Walt Whitman’s outward love towards men. Even still the organization was a firm stance supporting the purity and anti-LGBT+ campaigns across the country. Their leader at the time working closely with Congress to pass strict censorship laws. Ironically, though it's hard to believe no one saw this coming, the boys club that is the YMCA was in fact a gathering place for queer men. What a shocker. A scandal hit in 1912 leading to the arrest of more than 50 prominent community members being arrested on sodomy charges and the YMCA nearly turned their head around backwards to look the other way.

Adam and Eve's Arrival on Urantia

Adam and Eve’s Arrival on Urantia

Adam and Eve arrived on Urantia, from the year A.D. 1934, 37,848 years ago. It was in midseason when the Garden was in the height of bloom that they arrived. At high noon and unannounced, the two seraphic transports, accompanied by the Jerusem personnel intrusted with the transportation of the biologic uplifters to Urantia, settled slowly to the surface of the revolving planet in the vicinity of…
