Reading Richard Evans’ The Coming of the Third Reich might not seem like a good exercise in self-care these days, but i really needed the background info. Today, this passage on p. 376 stood out:

“The Nazis moved with the approval of conservatives and Catholics alike to destroy every branch of Weimar Germany’s lively and intricately connected conjurers of pressure groups for sexual freedom, the reform of the abortion law, the decriminalization of homosexuality, the public dispensing of contraceptive advice and anything else that they thought was contributing to the continued decline of the German birth rate.”
