“LGBTIQA+” is an anachronism. Homosexuals (G) were persecuted. Lesbians were considered to be a quaint bu not harmful affectation. The others were unknown at the time.

In reply to Paul Winter.

In reaponse to Paul Winter,

my understanding that all the Homosexuals were rounded up and put in to concentration camps. The Pink Triange was larger than the other symbols in an effort to make them more identifiable for abuse from the guards and other prisoners.

The homosexuals were used for medical experiments.

It is estimated that up to 15,000 homosexuals were killed in the gas chambers.

Also to be remember is the fact that whilst homosexuals were free prior to Hitler’s rule, those that survived where kepts in prison for years after the end of the war.

Finally, it should be noted that one of the first acts of the regime was to destroy the largest and most sophisticated museam and library of gender diverse people in the world, with the books burned and the museam destroyed.

Yes, there is a place for LGB victims of Naziism in museums perpetuating the Shoah, but it must be remembered that only two groups were slatedfor global extermination: the Jews and the Romanies. Of those two, only Jews were treated with the grossest of cruelty.

There were others as well: Communists, Jehova’s Witnesses, prostitutes and criminals. All of those should be remembered. So too should be the victims of other massacres.

But what must not be forgotten is that while we have had many companions on our path of pain and death, the Shoah was the most hellish within the Nazi hell and is uniquely concerned with the suffering of Jews.
