Episode 3 - Trans People under National Socialism and the Life of “R”

In this episode of the queer remembrance podcast, we explore the situation of trans people under National Socialism along the life of R., a trans-woman. We are taking you along on a talk about the paragraphs that the Nazis used, their perception of trans people and how the different categories they used to assess the “Volksgemeinschaft“, affected trans people’s life. We close with a glimpse into Laurie Marhoefers “notion of risk” to describe the situation of trans people during National Socialism.
