 Ten well-researched chapters describe how early 20th century tolerant attitudes toward homosexuals changed with the rise of Nazism in the 1930s. The pink triangle was used by the Nazis to identify homosexual prisoners in concentration camps. It has since been adopted by the gay movement as a symbol of strength and pride. First-person accounts from concentration camp survivors of the treatment and persecution of homosexuals by the Nazi regime, period photographs, a lengthy timeline, maps, and an extensive bibliography contribute to this well-documented history. The story of this little-known aspect of the holocaust is brought up to date with a final chapter titled, “It Gets Better.” mjw |
