Book Reviews of The Pink Triangle: The Nazi War Against Homosexuals
Book Review: The silent holocaust
Summary: 4 Stars
This work is a great eye opener for those wishing to discover much of what I have come to call the 'silent holocaust'. The treatment of homosexuals by the Nazi army was harsh and cruel yet the names of the dead resound silent throughout much of history. Through this silence we can see how our society has not changed in it's compassion and cultural 'taboos' even when bigotry reaches into mass-killing of innocent peoples. Today the murder of innocent men and women for their sexuality continues as the mentality of ethnic (and thus "moral") superiority.This book should be read by anyone who desires to learn about this 'silent holocaust' and how to prevent history for repeating itself.
Namaste and Peace to all!
Book Review: Excellent gay history
Summary: 4 Stars
Unlike so many gay books which are just superficial or stupid, this one is real history and well written. This is harrowing reading. Plant has done us all a great service in bringing this complete account to life. Details the Nazi campaign against gay people. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Don't miss it!Book Review: A Complete Account
Summary: 3 Stars
It's obvious that Richard Plant did his research before writing this book, there's a severe lack of information on this particular topic floating around out there. As I did a report entitled "Homosexuals in the Holocaust: The Forgotten Victims of the Third Reich," I found this to be the most complete book on the obscure topic. It may make for dull Sunday afternoon reading, but for all my intents and purposes, it was excellently detailed and precise.
