In a number of ways, Germany has come to terms with its Nazi past. But there are still things that require further unfolding, and research into the treatment of lesbians under the Third Reich is one.
Before telling our stories, we should not forget the dreadful dislocations brought about by the ghastly “Kaiser’s war” (1914–1918). But out of the ashes rose a flowering of queer life unlike any before, fermenting during the doomed Weimar Republic (1918–1933).
In pre-World War I Germany, there were strong movements for women’s and queer rights. After the war, these picked back up and intensified.
And Girlkultur was internationally known. Foreign women joined the German Neue Frau (New Woman), clustered in Berlin particularly. Women found each other readily, as opposed to the clandestine, shame-inducing ways of the past. You could go to a newsstand and purchase the magazines Frauenliebe (Women’s Love) or Die Freundin (The Girlfriend), with advertisements for, say, the 13 lesbian clubs in a 16-block section of the Schöneberg neighborhood, and all that existed beyond that.
There were even international guidebooks written about ‘Berlins lesbische Frauen’ (Berlin’s Lesbian Women).
But this all skidded to a halt when the Nazis began their heavy crackdown, beginning in March of 1933. But since the war’s end in 1945, the bulk of research into Nazi queer oppression has concerned the pink triangles: the men.
The historians with access to primary materials and financial backing have provided incredible data streams, yet the claims don’t agree. Figures of those arrested, and of those killed, drift from 5,000 to 10,000 to 200,000 and even 500,000 men swept up into the Nazi

Clayton Davis “Tár” is a musical, but not in the way you might think.
