Long form article includes descriptions of proto-Nazi constructions of parenting and masculinity, as well as the destructive post-fascist counter-reaction, and finally a survivor’s story of re-connecting with his emotional self.

  • Such a deeply troubling article…They sought a noble thing in dark fucking places; trying to make a better model of parenting and expressions of masculinity which wouldn’t lead to a similar situation of Nazi Germany. If only they had chosen a different route for several of their experiments, they might have actually succeeded. I always wondered why homosexuality and pedophilia were conflated in most people’s minds; this article explains it to me. I’m glad this survivor manages to heal after he suffers for so long.
