Gspot: Sanger vs Nazi -- does anybody know herstory?

in 1950, Ernst Grafenberg, a gynecologist and German Jew — who escaped the Nazis with the help of the early feminist and birth-control crusader Margaret Sanger — wrote about the keen sensitivity of a small area within the vagina, partway up the front wall.

ESCAPE FROM GERMANY
In 1937 he was arrested for allegedly having smuggled a valuable stamp out of Germany. When influential friends of the International Society of Sexology discovered what had happened, the U.S. consulate began negotiations and deposited a large ransom for his release. It is reported that his release from prison was negotiated by Margaret Sanger of New York. In 1940 he was finally able to leave Germany and emigrate to California, traveling via Siberia and Japan (Lehfeldt & Wheeler, 1994; Semm & Giese, 1983).
