International Holocaust Remembrance Day

“Scarcely a word has been written on the fact that along with the millions whom Hitler had butchered on grounds of ‘race,’ hundreds of thousands of people were sadistically tortured to death simply for having homosexual feelings. Scarcely anyone has publicized the fact that the madness of Hitler and his gang was not directed just against the Jews, but also against us homosexuals, in both cases leading to the ‘final solution’ of seeking the total annihilation of these human beings.

May they never be forgotten,
these multitudes of dead,
our anonymous, immortal martyrs.”

Heinz Heger, The Men With The Pink Triangle (1972)

Discussion about this video

If there was ever a more important time in the history of the USA to be reminded of theses sad facts and unfortunate lives I don't know when it would have been. Thank you . . .

Sadly, those that need to be reminded likely either never knew it or don’t care. I’m not a prayer kind of guy, but I do my best to spread more love and light than hate and darkness. Seems simple enough…why is it so hard for so many?

Thank you so much for posting this video. Indeed all of those brave men needed to remembered deeply. I can not imagine what they went through both mentally and physically.

Let's hope this NEVER happens again.

Thanks, Don. I’m hoping too, but realistic enough to know as a species we’re not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Fingers crossed reasonable minds—and hearts—prevail. Peace, love, and light!

The mob would be just as happy seeing him devoured by gladiators. Here’s hoping they all choke on their own blood-thirsty thirst. And Orange Dingus goes chows down on one too many Big Macs.

Oh and don't forget his caffeine soda (Coke?) to keep him on his YMCA tuned feet 😎

Methinks he remembers dancing to YMCA with Roy Cohn while they enjoyed coke-and-Coke and pretended they were at a bath house. Such an ugh-ly visual of two ugh-ly “human” beings. I wish they had never been born.

Douglas you're reading my mind this morning. Dangerous indeed and I'm not trying to be melodramatic.

Yuppers we had it with Brexit from Europe. What a nightmare it's caused. However I can't dwell on it, just have to cope the best

I/we can

Yeah. So much of what we’re going through now, you’ve already seen before. Sadly, we tend to do things bigger, though rarely better. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Back to work. It’s the only thing I know to do to rebel and resist.
