The first major Nazi book burnings on May 10, 1933, included a significant, targeted raid on the Institute for Sexual Research (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) in Berlin. On May 6, 1933, Nazi-affiliated students looted the library of Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, a pioneer in gay and transgender research, seizing thousands of volumes and archives deemed "un-German".
Target: The Institute held the world's largest collection on sexology, gender, and LGBTQ+ issues.
The Act: On May 6, 1933, the library was raided, and materials were looted.
The Burning: On May 10, 1933, these materials were publicly burned in the Bebelplatz (Opernplatz) in Berlin, alongside books by Jewish, communist, and other "degenerate" authors
Yup, not sure why I was downvoted lol
