It’s great to meet so many new people here on Bluesky! By way of further introductions, here’s a book I published in 2017, The Hirschfeld Archives: Violence, Death, and Modern Queer Culture. It’s open access; you can read it free here tupress.temple.edu/books/the-hi...

Book cover for Heike Bauer, The Hirschfeld Archives: Violence, Death, and Modern Queer Culture published by Temple University Press in 2017. The cover image shows Paul Klee’s 1934 paint One Who Understands, an abstracted head made up of lines that divide the picture like a cracked windowpane.
