A Homosexual Recalls 1933 - United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Over the years, more and more of my political friends disappeared, of my Jewish and of my homosexual friends. Fear came over us with the increasingly coordinated pressure of the Nazis. For heaven's sake not to attract attention, to exercise restraint. 1933 was the starting-point for the persecution of homosexuals.

Definitions:
We define the Holocaust as the destruction of six million European Jews by the Nazis
and their collaborators between 1933-1945.

We draw on two definitions of genocide:
1. As established by the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the
Crime of Genocide: Genocides are "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in
part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."
2. As defined by historical sociologist Helen Fein: "Genocide is a series of purposeful
actions by a perpetrator(s) to destroy a collectivity through mass or selective murders
of group members and suppressing the biological and social reproduction of the collectivity."

- Branded By the Pink Triangle
- Ken Setterington
- 6/10
- The book describes the lives and struggles of homosexual citizens of Nazi Germany. It describes the process that Nazi forces used to discover homosexuals through torture. The book also presents first-person testimony to the specific horrors towards homosexual men wearing the pink triangle on their uniforms in concentration camps.
- I rated the book six of ten for the fact that it was very informational, but it is in a writing style I don't like. I found the individual accounts by the gay men who survived the holocaust to be very informative, but the overall setup of the book isn't to my liking.

Internal and External Conflict Paragraph (Option #3)

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Branded By the Pink Triangle by Ken Setterington, internal and external conflict are represented as the struggles of homosexual men living in Nazi Germany during the holocaust. Many external conflicts are represented, but the most common of them was the torturing and beating of these men in concentration camps. The guards working at the concentration camps were especially malicious towards the suspected homosexual men wearing pink triangles. One survivor of this treatment explains “...three times their fists hit my face, especially my nose so that I fell on the floor three times; when I managed to get up again, they continued battering me and beating me…” (pg. 67). The physical abuse of these men was significantly worse than that of other groups in the camp. Internal conflict is shown through the torturing of discovered homosexuals for the benefit of finding other homosexual men. Men who were turned in were presented with this torture described by the statement “Once arrested, the men would receive a brief trial; many were repeatedly tortured to provide the names of other homosexuals.” (pg. 49). Not only threatened by the fear of being discovered, homosexual men living in Nazi Germany weren’t even safe from those they trusted by this system.

The ending of the book Branded By the Pink Triangle by Ken Setterington shows the fall of the Nazi regime and the liberation of the prisoners of the concentration camps. It concludes by describing the effect of the Holocaust on the L.G.B.T. community today. Because of the horrors described throughout the book, the final chapter is entitled “It Gets Better”, the name of a foundation for L.G.B.T. community health and unity among all people. Pink Triangles had branded the homosexuals of the holocaust with shame, but are now revered in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the holocaust, and those who still lose their lives because they do not fit the norm of society. The ending is very effective in showing the effects that this horrible event has on those alive today. If it weren’t for the events of the past, the L.G.B.T. community may not have the same rights that they do now. The inspiration of the survivors of the holocaust continues to fuel the fire of a civil rights revolution, the effects of which are still experienced today. The ending is very effective in an attempt to inspire the reader to take notice of the world around them, and the rights and happiness of minorities.
