This book takes a deep look into one of the other groups that were killed by the Nazi machine during the holocaust. This takes a hard look at the people that wore the pink triangle: Gay men. It was illegal under paragraph 175 to have any tendencies towards another man if you were a man, but you could be a lesbian. There is little to no evidence that lesbian women were ever put into camps. Reports are that only 6 were put in there. This book really is about gay men and their struggle through show more World War 2. Also takes a hard look at the people that Hitler surrounded himself with before the extermination of homosexuals began in Germany.

It is a hard book to read if you identify with a minority group because you will feel the pain of the statistics and information that he is providing. It is interesting how when we think about the holocaust we only think about one particular group of individuals, but the reality is there were 5 million other people that died during this event as well. This is just one of their stories. show less
