Translated by David Fernbach
For decades, history ignored the Nazi persecution of gay people. Only with the rise of the gay
movement in the 1970s did historians finally recognize that gay people, like Jews and others
deemed "undesirable," suffered enormously at the hands of the Nazi regime. Of the few who
survived the concentration camps, only one ever came forward to tell his story. His true account
of those nightmarish years provides an important introduction to a long-forgotten chapter of
gay history.
The Men with the Pink Triangle tells the true story of an Austrian man who, because of the
persecution that continued when he first told his story in 1971-1972, chose to remain anonymous.
He related his experiences to the German writer Heinz Heger. -- from the back cover
