Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe statute of Paragraph 175 was amended several times. The Nazis broadened the law in 1935 and increased its prosecutions by an order of magnitude; thousands died in concentration camps, regardless of guilt or innocence. East Germany reverted to the old version of the law in 1950, limited its scope to sex with youths under 18 in 1968, and abolished it entirely in 1988. West Germany retained the Nazi-era statute until 1969, when it was limited to "qualified cases"; it was further attenuated in 1973 and finally revoked entirely in 1994 after German reunification.
- Quotes
Annette Eick: I think in all of Berlin you were free, you could do what you wanted. We had three very well known clubs. One was in the north where proletarian girls came. Usually in their Sunday best costume, their smoking costume. I was a bit scarred, I must say. If you have never seen boyish and masculine lesbians and such a heap of them. I was surprised I had to get used to it. And funnily enough, I saw one woman which looked a little bit like Marlene Dietrich. I don't know. Anyway, I wanted to get to know her; but, she didn't care for me, of course. I was a silly little girl. But, she is the one I saw occasionally later on who saved my life. Because, she was the one who sent me this permit. She went to England before.
