Book Reviews of The Men with the Pink Triangle: The True Life-and-Death Story of Homosexuals in the Nazi Death Camps
Book Review: First-hand account of a gay man's experience of Nazi terror
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this book is categorized as "fiction" in this catalogue, it is, as far as I understand, actually a first-hand account of a gay person's experience of Nazi terror.The book is written in the first person, although the man to whom these events happened remains unnamed. This is hardly surprising, for, as the historical sections of the book point out, homosexuality remained a crime both in post-war Germany as well as in the Allies' (e.g. America, Britain) own legislation. Such stories could therefore not be told. As a consequence of the legislation of the time, and of the fact that homosexuals - like gipsies, who were equally persecuted by the Nazi regime - had no lobby to represent them after WW2, no reparations have ever been made to homosexual survivors of the concentration camps (or their relatives).
The story told in this book is truly heartbreaking. It tells of the horrors inflicted upon homosexual inmates of concentration camps in moving, horrific detail. An eye-opening read.
