About this listen
This episode is in German.
In this episode of Still Here, Leslie Clarke speaks with Helmut Metzner, Chair of the Magnus Hirschfeld Federal Foundation in Berlin, about memory, visibility and the fragile nature of progress on LGBTQ+ rights.
Metzner reflects on his long career in politics, his life as an openly gay man, and the work of a foundation tasked with rebuilding queer knowledge and infrastructure destroyed under National Socialism. The conversation spans Germany, the UK and the wider world, exploring how quickly rights can be gained — and how easily they can be lost again.
An accompanying long-read article based on this conversation is available in English on Scene Magazine:
