Dora Richter, the first ever trans woman to undergo gender reassignment surgery, was usually thought to have died during the Nazis burning of the Institute for Sexual Research. However, new evidence points to Richter having successfully escaped the Nazis, and living a long life, until 1966, where she died at age 74.
We salute the old guard
Wait what the fuck I know some people where she stayed in Czechia, small world. I am kinda concerned if her family had any Nazis in it considering she was deported
While I'd be surprised if she didn't have nazi family, it sucks that victims of nazi persecution got deported in addition to fascist settlers
Afaik there was a process for like, recanting your family and staying. Some people didn't want to recant their whole family though, and the authorities were unwilling to split families based on vote tallies from 1935
My family had Germans in it but they voted for the DSAP (german socdems with a sizeable commie faction) and the KSC (communists), so they didnt get deported. Our family did get split by the Nazis though. Its definitely a hard decision, there were a lot of settlers and Nazi terrorists to get rid of.
fun tidbit from the dsap:
Yeah I'm sure there's more nuance than I know, but in this instance, I don't blame a soul for erring against fascism
