On November 11, 1933, the Hamburg City Administration asked the Head of Police to “pay special attention to transvestites” and to “deliver them to the concentration camps.”
Nazis burning Hirschfield Institute documents along with other books and materials that were deemed to be “un-German”
Nazi Germany did not make distinctions between transvestites and transsexuals. Most of the time, Nazis referred to gender-atypical behavior as homosexual behavior. When they did consciously choose to distinguish between gays and transgenders, Nazi’s referred to all transgenders as “transvestites.” Indeed, in 1938 the Institute of Forensic Medicine recommended that the “phenomena of transvestism” be “exterminated from public life.” The Institute went on to state, “draconian measures by the government against stubborn and hard-headed transvestites are … adequate.”
In Nazi Death Camps, interned homosexuals and transgenders were forced to wear upside-down pink triangles. On the 24th anniversary of the burning of the Hirschfeld’s Institute’s library, the post-Hitler German government upheld Nazi laws used to oppress the homosexual and transgender community stating that “homosexual acts unquestionably offended the moral feelings of the German people.”

Ich habe zwei Bücher über Homosexualität und der NAZI Zeit aber es gibt eigentlich fast nichts über Trans Leute und unsere Geschichte in der NAZI Zeit.
I find it a heartbreaking and terrifying that we were not represented and still aren’t today.
There is essentially no good information on the internet about trans people persecuted during this time.
