The Hustler (1926) by John Henry Mackay published under his alias Sagitta In a blurb for the 1985 reprinting, Christopher Isherwood wrote that the novel "gives a picture of the Berlin sexual underworld early in this century which I know, from my own experience, to be authentic." It depicted the social world of "young men who prostitute themselves in Berlin, without much concern for their own sexual identity or that of their clients".

Otto Dix · Sylvia von Harden

[Note the inscription of her aristocratic name "Sylvia von Harden" on the inner cover of the cigarette box]

Journaliste à Berlin dans les années 1920, Sylvia von Harden (1894-1963) s’affiche en intellectuelle émancipée par une pose nonchalante. Otto Dix contrarie son arrogance par le détail d’un bas défait. Sa robe-sac à gros carreaux rouges détonne avec l’environnement rose, typique…

Current times in the U.S. are NOT as similar to 1776 as they are to 1932 Germany

I've been saying for a long time that America is currently in its Weimar Republic stage, and if we don't stop the creeping neofascism now, we will go the way of earlier fascist nations. Probably, we will never be as extreme as Nazi Germany, but we might very soon look much like a neofascist contemporary nation like Viktor Orbán's Hungary.

Given this, I was happy to see the comment below made in response to an opinion column in the WaPo by Charles Lane: U.S. institutions are polling about as well as King George III did in 1776

"No, not 1776 at all. Far more like Germany in 1932, when a demented clown and his party of bigots and bullies told millions they’d been stabbed in the back by liberals and socialists, that they could make Germany great again and have anything they wanted, that everything they wanted made sense — if they would only elect a demented, debauched political party and its scheming head to lead the country and join in a hysterical campaign of demonization and vilification of less than 1% of the population. "These same people pretended to be a movement espousing family values, where a woman’s place was solely in the kitchen, raising children and going to church. They held mass rallies where they encouraged their followers to jail their opponents and use violence against people who got in their way. Once in power they outlawed abortion, homosexuality, and jazz, suspended constitutional and legal rights, and claimed only white, blue-eyed people were deserving of life and liberty. "Democracy is so very fragile. Turns out it only takes only a witches brew of fear and demonization to undo in a flash what institutions and constitutions have worked to create and sustain over many generations. When brutish, loud-mouthed bullies promise to make your country great again, this is really what they have in mind." --cbl55 Sylvester the Cat, commenting on a WaPo opinion column: U.S. institutions are polling about as well as King George III did in 1776

berlin-wannsee station // berlin wannsee

architect: richard brademanns

completion: 1928

when you visit berlin-wannsee station, you feel like you've stepped right back into the twenties. the station is very well preserved and well worth seeing. and a starting point into a very oppressive and dark, historical environment which, with the memorial and educational site haus der wannsee konferenz (house of the wannsee conference), sheds light on the human crime of the shoa which was finally initiated here with the wannsee conference.

Sorry I didn’t respond to your text, I was having thoughts that can only be communicated through the German expressionist films of the Weimar Republic

#ya girl is back at it again with the film nerd fuckery #rip to my friend who had to listen to me basically recite conrad veidt’s wikipedia page from memory #but seriously those movies are genuinely good #and (personally) history is really hard but there’s a lot of art that I like such as these films #and since they’re old(er) I like to look up and learn about the context in which they were created and voila history starts making sense at #least a bit. and now as a bonus I have fun facts to tell people #german expressionism #weimar republic #weimar cinema #ky’s gallery

"Milieu: Gay Berlin" - an exploration of LGBT+ identities in the Weimar Republic (1920's Germany).

Based on "Gay Berlin" by Robert Beachy.

Did you know the roaring 20s have *always* been queer, both 100 years ago and now?

-----------

Note: I didn't have enough space to cover Dr. Magnus Hirschfield properly but he will be the subject of my next infographic. Dr. Hirschfield was a gay Jewish doctor and activist who created the first medical institute (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) for LGBT+ people. He pioneered transgender care!
