The Nazis inflicted extraordinarily brutal treatment on gay men, viewing them as morally inferior and deserving of unique punishment, which marked their persecution in concentration camps.
Contrary to expectations, the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site today still exhibits discriminatory treatment towards the memory of gay victims, lacking substantial recognition in comparison to other prisoners.
Otto Giering’s experience as a gay inmate highlighted the harsh conditions both imposed by the Nazis and the social ostracism suffered from fellow inmates, symbolizing widespread prejudice.
During my visit to Sachsenhausen, I was heartened by the flowers left at the LGBTIQ memorial, a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for dignity and equality.
