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.

one of the biggest propaganda victories of the fourth reich was establishing the narrative that the nazi book burning rallies were about them being anti-book, deliberately waltzing past the question of which books big-honk were being burned?

This is pretty conclusive data tbh. Same name, birth date, religion, country of origin, ethnicity...

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 yikes

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:

the Czechoslovak State was regarded as a "creation of Allied Imperialism" and the Czechoslovak Constitution as the "suicide of democracy"

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

A few older Allersberg residents want to remember a lady and her brother. Like other displaced persons, the two lived in barracks on the outskirts of town. The brother was known for his wit, they say. And the sister for her handbag. A pigeon always sat in it, like in a nest. The lady was rarely seen without her bag. Now and then she dropped some food into it, several people in town say. Dora Richter was also often in a good mood. But that was a long time ago, they keep saying. That's why it remains doubtful whether the man was really a brother.

There is a long, proud tradition of trans women boymoding.

She's not the only one either, names are escaping me but several german trans people lived long lives despite the third reich, which is pretty cool.
