Netflix Exposes the Secret Homosexual History of Nazi Germany
The Eldorado, the swinging, anything-goes nightspot that gives the new NetflixdocumentaryEldorado its name, was an LGBTQ haven during Germany’s Weimar Republic, popular among Berlin’s trans population and anyone else who liked to let their hair down in public. It was also, as the film’s subtitle puts it, Everything the Nazis Hate. Which didn’t stop burly Hitler confidante and head of the Nazi SA paramilitary wing Ernst Röhm, a not-terribly-closeted gay man, from frequenting the establishment. As the film explains, the SA had a formidable homoerotic element, a disgust with women and femininity they somehow used to justify homosexuality – for a time, anyway.

Eldorado - Everything the Nazis Hate shows queer lives in s Berlin and the shift from the Weimar Republic to National Socialism
Klaus Mueller (pictured on the left) and Benjamin Cantu (pictured on the right)On June 28, , the documentary Eldorado - Everything the Nazis Hate is coming to Netflix.
The film tells the story of how a nightclub in s Berlin became a haven for the queer community and explores the freedoms lost amid Hitler’s rise to power.
The director, Benjamin Cantu, explains his thinking behind the plot: “We wanted to show queer lives that took place in Berlin and who experienced the shift from the Weimar Republic to National Socialism. What was important to us was to exhibit how homosexuality was defined at that time from different directions - socially, scientifically, and politically.
“It was completely new at that time to talk so broadly and publicly about homosexuality. The topic was politically instrumentalized by the Nazis as well as the Social Democrats and Communists. The characters this film is about were affected by these dynamics in different ways. Within a few years, many LGBT* people experienced their sexual and emotional freed
