✔ How the Nazis cracked down on sexual freedom, from banning erotica to shutting down clubs
✔ The fate of sex workers, sexual minorities, and anyone who didn’t fit into the Nazi ideal of sexuality
✔ What Nazi propaganda said about sex and morality—and the surprising contradictions in their own ranks
