From the turn of the twentieth century to the 1950s, a group of
transgender people on both sides of the Atlantic created
communities that profoundly shaped the history and study of
sexuality. By exchanging letters and pictures among themselves they
established private networks of affirmation and trust, and by
submitting their stories and photographs to medical journals and
popular magazines they sought to educate both doctors and the
public. Others of My Kind draws on archives in Europe and North
America to tell the story of this remarkable transatlantic
transgender community. This book uncovers threads of connection
between Germany, the United States, and the Netherlands to discover
the people who influenced the work of authorities like Magnus
Hirschfeld, Harry Benjamin, and Alfred Kinsey not only with their
clinical presentations, but also with their personal relationships.
It explores the ethical and analytical challenges that come with
the study of what was once private, secret, or unacceptable to say.
With more than 170 colour and black and white illustrations,
including many stunning, previously unpublished photographs, Others
of My Kind celebrates the faces, lives, and personal networks of
those who drove twentieth-century transgender history.
At a time when issues of gender and sexuality are as prominent as
they have ever been, Gender, Sex and the Shaping of Modern Europe
provides an authoritative exploration of the history of these
deeply connected subjects over the last 250 years. Incorporating a
blend of history and historiography, Annette F. Timm and Joshua A.
Sanborn write engagingly on gender and sexuality in a way that
illuminates our understanding of historical change and individual
experience throughout Europe. The new and improved 3rd edition of
this textbook now includes: · Personal vignette textboxes which
shed light on key themes through individual life stories · Added
material on Russia, Eastern Europe, the Holocaust and the 21st
century · Historiographical updates throughout that bring the text
up-to-date with new scholarship · 30 new images and maps Through 6
thematic chapters that cover democracy, capitalism, imperialism and
war, Timm and Sanborn trace the social construction of gender
roles, consider gender’s influence on political and economic
developments during the period and reflect on where European
society’s relationship with gender will go both now and in the
future.

Holocaust History and the Readings of Ka-Tzetnik provides the first
extensive exploration of the reception of Ka-Tzetnik's work and the
role that his books have played in the larger discussion of the
Holocaust and its memorialization around the world. Including
contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of
experienced scholars, the book examines the literary merits,
historical context and public resonance of Ka-Tzetnik's stories. It
also places his novels in the context of post-WWII debates about
how the memories and testimonies of the victims of the Holocaust
can be represented and made publicly accessible through literature.
There is also detailed coverage of key topics, like Holocaust
memory and sexual violence in the concentration camps, and thorough
historical analysis of key works like House of Dolls included
throughout. This is an important study for all scholars and
students with an interest in the Holocaust and Holocaust
literature.

What impact does a falling birth rate have on the strength and
vitality of a nation? Are citizens duty-bound to think about this
question when they make reproductive and sexual choices? Few
countries have grappled with these questions so intensely and with
such dramatic consequences as Germany. Annette Timm tracks how
fears of a declining population influenced reproductive and sexual
health policy in Germany from the end of World War I through the
period of German division in the Cold War. A case study set in
Berlin, the book examines local measures to control venereal
diseases and influence reproductive choices in marriage counseling
clinics. It investigates how policies meant to encourage higher
birth rates created feelings of belonging even as they infringed
upon personal autonomy. The idea that sexual duty should be central
to conceptions of citizenship only died with the changing
circumstances of the late Cold War.
