The Berlin book burning and the raiding of Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for sexual science (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) in May 1933 is part and parcel of German memorial culture. Due to a rehabilitation and revival of Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935), noticeable in Germany in recent years, many Germans now know that the pivotal LGBT-rights precursor activist died in 1935 in exile in Nice (France), heavily traumatized by the destruction of his life work by the Nazis in Germany.

This is the very first book reporting in detail on what happened in the years 1932-1935 before Hirschfeld's death and, especially, during the seven years that followed his death.
