Before the rise of the Nazi party, Germany, especially Berlin, was one of the most tolerant places for homosexuals in the world. But that all changed when the Nazis came to power. The pink triangle sewn onto prison uniforms became the symbol of the persecution of homosexuals, a persecution that would continue for many years after the war. A mix of historical research, first-person accounts and individual stories brings this time to life for young readers.

This was an interesting glimpse into another segment of the horrors of the Holocaust. A segment little talked about and only recently as the history of the Holocaust goes acknowledged and recognized officially.

I have discovered a rabbit hole. I will be descending.

Starting this now.
This doesn‘t seem as widely written about. I wish it were or at least I wish I knew more titles.

I teach a Holocaust unit and wanted to have a deeper understanding of what it was like for homosexuals, this book gives a good overview. It‘s a fast read but you certainly get the horror that these men went through with the Nazis.

In 1897, Hirschfeld founded the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee and gathered more than 5,000 signatures on a petition from prominent citizens to overturn Paragraph 175. The signatories included Albert Einstein, writers Herman Hesse and Thomas Mann, poet Rainer Maria Rilke, and philosopher Martin Buber.
