Original Note:
The Institute for Sexual Science in Germany was looted. Files and books were burned as part of many book burnings & destruction of Jewish owned businesses in 1933. The clinic was founded & run by Dr Magnus Hirchfeld, who was both gay & Jewish & was a frequent target of Nazis. https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/6-may-1933-looting-of-the-institute-of-sexology/ https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/magnus-hirschfeld-2
