For this episode of In Bed with the Right, Adrian and Moira return to the year 1933. They continue the story of how Hitler seized power, what it did to society, what it felt like to live through it, and -- as always -- what role gender and sexuality played in events. Reminder: We're going month by month for these episodes. This seventh installment covers September 1 to September 30, 1933. It's about culture: about how the Nazis took over the culture sector, how the émigrés began to establish an alternative, and how our modern picture of the Third Reich began to emerge.
