Title: The Men with the Pink Triangle - The true, life-and-death story of
homosexual prisoners in the Nazi concentration campsAuthor: Heinz Heger Published by: Alyson Publications, 1980 ISBN: 0-932870-06-6 [Trade paperback, 117 pages]
Of the thousands of men who wore the pink triangle, only one has ever told his story. Here is one of the first voices to break the silence on the Nazi persecution of homosexuals. It is the simple, almost naive account of a man who was only twenty-two years old at the time of his arrest in his native Vienna. he gives us a view different from the conventional one about survival and resistance in the camps.
