#nazi prosecution

In 1935, a Nazi law legalized the `compulsory sterilization of homosexuals.’ A special section of the Gestapo dealt with them.

Of the 100,000 gay men that were arrested at least 15,000 were sent to concentration camps wearing pink triangles. The pink triangles worked in the clay pits of Sachsenhausen, the quarries of Buchenwald, they shoveled snow with their bare hands in Auschwitz & they were used as living targets at the firing range; they had the dirtiest jobs in all camps.

This Holocaust Memorial Day we should remember them too.
