   In our last episode, we tell you how Hans M.’s fight for his right to existence continued after the trial and what negative impact the sentence had on his life.

   Ep. 2: What the sources (don’t) tell us

   In this episode you will hear more about Hans M.’s life prior to the trial and the circumstances of his arrest.

   Ep. 1: Retracing a hidden history

   Welcome to our very first podcast episode! In this episode we give you a short, general introduction to Queer History in Austria and the specific court case that we will talk about in the next few episodes. The accused was the 35-year-old Hans M. who was being tried for homosexuality and fraud in Graz in 1949/50. We discuss the issue of only having sources that tell us the prosecution’s side of the story.
