I appreciate the effort to sound the alarm and identify historic echoes—and many are making this analogy—but Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science, unlike the NIH et al., was not a government agency. Worse, the book burnings of 1933 did not involve the Institute setting its own records on fire.
