Berlin author Matthias Gerschwitz presents his book about gay actors and cabaret artists Wilhelm Bendow (1884–1950) and Hubert von Meyerinck (1896–1971), who both had successful film and stage careers and lived openly as gay men at a time—even under the Nazis—when that was anything but a given. An important piece of LGBTIQ* cultural and contemporary history from the German Empire to the Federal Republic of Germany.
