Set in a time when many men in the upper classes in Europe were gay, but could not be so publicly, Jews Queers Germans revolves around three men: Prince Philipp von Eulenburg, Kaiser Wilhelm II's closest friend, who becomes the subject of a notorious 1907 trial for homosexuality; Magnus Hirschfeld, a famed, Jewish sexologist who gives testimony at the trial; and Count Harry Kessler, a leading proponent of modernism, and the keeper of a famous set of diaries which lay out in intimate detail the major social, artistic and political events of the day and allude as well to his own homosexuality. The central theme here is the gay life of a very upper crust intellectual milieu that had a real impact on the major political upheavals that would shape the modern world forever after. 600 00 $a William $b II, $c German Emperor, $d 1859-1941 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Kessler, Harry, $c Graf, $d 1868-1937 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Hirschfeld, Magnus, $d 1868-1935 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Upper class $z Germany $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Intellectuals $z Germany $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Homosexuality $z Germany $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Trials $z Germany $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $x Politics and government $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Legal fiction (Literature) $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210702012912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=99A43002DAFE11EB9BE3539D58ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
