Kurt Hiller
Jewish German writer, 1885-1972
"Kurt Hiller was a Jewish German essayist of high stylistic originality and a political (namely pacifist) journalist. An openly gay communist he was deeply influenced by Immanuel Kant and Arthur Schopenhauer, despising the philosophy of G. W. F. Hegel. Hiller was also an influential writer in the early German gay rights movement in the first two decades of the 20th century. In 1929, Hiller took over as chairman of the ""Scientific Humanitarian Committee"". Hiller is remembered, too, for his book ""§175: Schmach des Jahrhunderts"" (""Paragraph 175: Outrage of the Century"") published in 1922. Following the Nazi seizure of power Hiller fled to Prague in 1934, and then to London in 1938."
