The Men with the Pink Triangle: The True, Life-And-Death Story of Homosexuals in the Nazi Death Camps (Large Print 16pt) | Heinz Heger

3 posts | 7 read | 16 to read

The first, and still the best known, testimony by a gay survivor of the Nazi concentration camps translated into English, this harrowing autobiography opened new doors onto the understanding of homosexuality and the Holocaust when it was first published in 1980 by Gay Men's Press. THE MEN WITH THE PINK TRIANGLE has been translated into several languages, with a second edition published in 1994 by Alyson Books. Heger's book also inspired the 1979 play Bent by Martin Sherman which was filmed as the 1997 movie of the same name, directed by Sean Mathias.

The Men with the Pink Triangle: The True, Life-And-Death Story of Homosexuals in the Nazi Death Camps (Large Print 16pt) | Heinz Heger

#TBRTemptation post for today's #junebookbugs prompt: #ashapeinthetitle

"In 1939, Heger, a Viennese university student, was arrested and sentenced to prison for being a "degenerate." Within weeks he was transported to Sachsenhausen, a concentration camp in East Germany, and forced to wear a pink triangle to show that his crime was homosexuality. He remained there, under horrific conditions, until the end of the war in 1945."
