On January 27th, the world recognized International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and it seemed poignant and fitting to have Dr. Jake Newsome, a scholar of American and German LGBTQ+ History, join Andrew in the ITBR to discuss his new book "Pink Triangle Legacies." Jake begins by explaining why so many don't know the Nazi persecution of LGBTQ+ people and the origin story of the pink triangle. He explains why it's so important to learn about the connection between Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities during the Holocaust. Why does Jake's historical fascination with the pink triangle begin in a Buffalo gay bar?
He explains that the Weimar Republic was such a sexually free historical moment in Germany, and why Magnus Hirschfeld, an outspoken sexologist, was such a prolific gay rights activist and how his work still resonates in 2023. Andrew asks Jake whether the legacy of the pink triangle resonates with America's current divisive political atmosphere, and he has a lot to say about this topic!
Jake and Andrew are just getting started about the political issues happening in America, but their thoughts are so unfiltered that they recorded a bonus episode. Listen to the rest of their conversation on the ITBR Cafe: patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom.com
