SUMMARY: Hypnotist Dr. Caligari uses a somnambulist, Cesare, to commit murders.

The mod hasn't seen this movie but is obsessed with Conrad Veidt. If you do anything as a result of seeing this poll, look up Conrad Veidt, he was a truly incredible man. I mean just read this little excerpt from his Wikipedia article about the birth of his daughter "he was so hysterical from joy they had to sedate him and keep him in the hospital overnight."

"Milieu: Gay Berlin" - an exploration of LGBT+ identities in the Weimar Republic (1920's Germany).

Based on "Gay Berlin" by Robert Beachy.

Did you know the roaring 20s have *always* been queer, both 100 years ago and now?

-----------

Note: I didn't have enough space to cover Dr. Magnus Hirschfield properly but he will be the subject of my next infographic. Dr. Hirschfield was a gay Jewish doctor and activist who created the first medical institute (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) for LGBT+ people. He pioneered transgender care!
