Queere Geschichte(n) im Nationalsozialismus – wie wollen wir uns erinnern?

• Lectures & Discussions

Queer history has always been a contested field. The preoccupation with the persecution of homosexual and queer people under National Socialism was preceded by struggles that other Nazi persecutee groups and their allies also waged: struggles for recognition and remembrance and for financial resources for research and compensation. However, some of the lines of conflict in the history of persecution and life situations of queer people under National Socialism are very specific: for example, when it comes to the question of whether lesbians were also persecuted because of their lesbianism, to what extent intersectionality played a role in the persecution, or whether and how biographies of trans*, inter* or non-binary people are told today. When we tell queer history, who is remembered, who is not, and most importantly: why?

During QueerHistoryMonth, various Hamburg LGBTIQ* projects and cultural institutions, museums, archives and individuals offer a wide range of events. The QHM is a joint project of Hamburg's queer community that aims to promote engagement with historical and current queer issues.
