True Crime TLDR: Gay Nazis (Ernst Röhm and the Eldorado Cabaret)

Happy Pride Fiends! Alright we know it's July, but we had one more pride episode on the books so we're giving it to you anyway. This one is for the musical theater fans! Before The stonewall there was the Edorado Cabaret, a german, multi locational, enlightened, anything goes wonderland where liberation was was abundant. We have learned that you cannot talk about LGBTQ+ history without mentioning Weimar Republic era Berlin. There, for a time, life really was beautiful. This is the story of the real  Kit Kat Club and the glittery, tragic history that inspired the musical Cabaret. This episode had us riveted, and if you like it as much as we did, be sure to watch the Netflix documentary Eldorado: Everything the Nazi's Hate, link below.    Click To Learn More https://about.netflix.com/en/news/eldorado-everything-the-nazis-hate https://www.ilholocaustmuseum.org/celebrating-queer-joy-in-1920s-berlin/ https://adventuresintimeandgender.org/stories/the-club-history/ https://perspectives.ushmm.org/item/photo-of-the-eldorado-club   WWBD Merch Buy your WWBD swag here!  Join the Conversation
