Hirschfeld was the Founder and Director of the Institute for Sexual Science. This work was 'Intended for circulation among Mature Educated Persons only.' Magnus Hirschfeld (14 May 1868 - 14 May 1935) was a German physician and sexologist educated primarily in Germany; he based his practice in Berlin-Charlottenburg during the Weimar period. An outspoken advocate for sexual minorities, Hirschfeld founded the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee. Historian Dustin Goltz characterized this group as having carried out "the first advocacy for homosexual and transgender rights". "Hirschfeld's radical ideas changed the way Germans thought about sexuality." Hirschfeld was targeted by the right-wing for being Jewish and gay, he was beaten up by völkisch activists in 1920, and in 1933 his Institut für Sexualwissenschaft was sacked and had its books burned by the Nazis, forcing him into exile. Hirschfeld was the author of some 187 learned works in the four special fields making an entity of the Sexual Sciences: 1) Sexual Biology; 2) Sexual Pathology; 3) Sexual Sociology; and 4) Sexual Ethnology for Physicians and Students of Advanced Sex Science. Dr. Hirschfeld was assisted in the preparation of Sexual History of the World War by famous physicians, historians and scientists. The book first discusses the general release of sexual restraints caused by the mentality of war and by the separation of soldiers from the influence of home and family. This book functions as a time capsule of progressive attitudes toward human sexuality. Among the topics covered are: War Wives and Immorality, Eroticism of Nurses, Sensuality in the Trenches, Venereal Diseases, Women Soldiers, Homosexuality, Transvestitism, Regulation of Army Brothels, Prostitution Behind the Lines, Lust in the Conquered Areas, Civilian Debauchery, Genital Injuries, War Eunuchs, Etc., Falstaff Press, Inc, 1937, 2, Paperback / softback. New. Many studies of the origins of National Socialism claim that the volkisch and proto-Nazi movement arose largely as a reaction to the materialistic ideas of 19th-century science and especially to the naturalistic philosophy of Ernst Haeckel and the German Monist League.

Many studies of the origins of National Socialism claim that the vo;lkisch and proto-Nazi movement arose largely as a reaction to the materialistic ideas of nineteenth-century science and especially to the naturalistic philosophy of Ernst Haeckel and the German Monist League. Using hitherto unexplored material, Daniel Gasman calls this generalization into question. Arguing that the importance of science has been relatively neglected in accounts of the intellectual origins of Nazism, he attempts to show that Haeckel's scientific Darwinism, and his movement, the German Monist League, were proto-Nazi in character.Contrary to popular belief, Haeckel's type of social Darwinism actually played a critical role in the formation of National Socialist ideology. In his new introduction, Gasman notes that recent research goes far to confirm Haeckel's role as an ideological progenitor of fascist ideology. This is true not only for Germany, but also for the birth of fascist thought in Italy and France. In general, Gasman claims, the history of science plainly reveals how Haeckel's social Darwinism nourished the roots of fascism no less than avant-garde modernism.When The Scientific Origins of National Socialism initially appeared, the Times Literary Supplement called it a very well-argued thesis... that is completely successful... and leaves the reader to extract his own moral lessons. Medical History, in its review of The Scientific Origins of National Socialism, said, His book is essential for understanding modern Germany. It has a general message derived from the events in Germany, where scientific data were permitted to take on a mystical signficiance... with ghastly consequences. Bruce Chatwin, in the New York Review of Books, called the book brilliant. Now available in paperback, with a new introduction by the author, this seminal work will be of interest to intellectual historians, as well as those interested in twentieth-century Europe.
