love and darkness

When we recall the world wars, one historical fact cannot be avoided, and that is the appearance of concentration camps. At the height of the Third Reich, more than a thousand concentration camps were established on the lands of Europe they enslaved. Political dissidents, physically handicapped, socially incompetent, homosexuals, Jews, Tzgans and Slavs are their targets.

These people have been hollowed out, their eyes are empty and numb, and they have no idea what death is. In order to facilitate identification, the SS divided prisoners into different groups according to their nature, and each group wore different armbands. The Jewish symbol is a six-pointed star, and the gay is a pink triangle.

Contrary to the Jews and Tzgans, homosexuality was never considered the object of systematic elimination, such as sending to actual death factories. However, their percentage of overall survival in the camps was far lower than for other types of prisoners outside the two racial groups mentioned above.

Labor at gunpoint In

order to reduce the number of prisoners, at different times, the concentration camps will send prisoners to the death camps in batches, each batch of 100 or more, they are sent to gas chambers or injected with poison needles. The head of the secretariat of the prison camp is responsible for the selection, and this head is mostly a political prisoner. People can always see that most of the death teams they choose wear pink triangles.

Most of the rest of the gays were sent to labor camps. Gay men accounted for a large proportion of those sent to the hard labor camps. Similar places are: quarry and road roller fleet in Dachau, clay excavation in Sachsenhausen, tunnelling in Dora, quarry in Buchenwald. There were also commandos that searched for bombs dropped by airstrikes that didn't detonate.

They were beaten by the roar of the foreman and labored at the gunpoint of the SS. In the quarry of Buchenwald concentration camp, there is a sport popular among the foreman. "When the prisoners were pushing the cart to work, the foreman often played tricks and tortured us. Within half an hour, we had to push the cart to a height of 500 meters and let it slide down, and we had to keep the cart under control at all times. , Because of the acceleration, the speed of the car is very fast. When a car overturns, the car behind it will hit the body of the prisoner in front. When the injured were sent to the medical center, most of the leg bones were broken. Once there, the SS doctors would give them a deadly shot."

In addition, supervisors in these labor camps receive a list almost every morning, and the people on the list will be sent away and never come back.

People who are cured before dying

often have to cure gays before killing them. They are usually placed on the front lines of medical experiments. Many trials are injections of drugs in a variety of ways.

Whenever my name is called on the tweeter, I get so scared. Because this is likely to be a very brutal experiment on me. Most of the time it was a lot of injections in my breasts. All I remember is the white walls around, lots of white lab coats and the laughter of the nurses. There were six of us, topless, standing in a row facing the wall. When injecting, they thinly threw the needle at us, like children playing darts in a playground. One day, an unfortunate fellow inmate next to me collapsed suddenly, unconscious, and the needle hit him in the heart. We never saw him again after that.

——A memory from the Hilmaker concentration camp

In 1943, Heinrich Himmler issued a notice to the concentration camp: all homosexuals in the concentration camp who are willing to undergo castration can go home. There are 67 legitimate biology centres offering this service. In fact, as early as 1898, Switzerland, Denmark, and even the United States had medical aid agencies specializing in castration surgery to "solve" homosexuality. In the concentration camp, after Himmler's suggestion was announced, a large number of homosexuals volunteered for surgery. However, after the operation, they were sent to the Russian frontline.

Sex life in concentration camps

Under normal circumstances, sexual desire is not generated when surrounded by barbed wire and under enormous pressure every day. At the same time, the ruler will not allow this kind of sex life. However, the sex life still spread in the concentration camps. Only, there is no joy, just submission and obedience. The chiefs of the camp's precincts and the overseers selected from among the prisoners became almost all homosexuals during their incarceration. The claustrophobic life in prison often leads to sex scenes where they select suitable candidates among young prisoners in various countries.

A gay Dutch man said in a TV news report: "There was an SS doctor who was very fond of boys. He called me in a lot. Sometimes he came with a colleague who approved it. man. Several times, he used two hands against me, and I was so sick. As for Cabo from the sewing workshop, he had a Polish boy as his company. After the boy disappeared, I was forced to accompany the It's kapo. It was thanks to him that I survived. We should accept reality. We should admit that everyone wants to survive, even by means like me."

At that time, all the handsome young men, All may be in the barbed wire, persecuted by the capos, whether he is gay or not. History, however, often links these Cabo's evil deeds to those pink triangles.

Postscript

The Nazis massacred every gay person twice. This other massacre is in their family's memory, in a review of their politics and history.

Every killer killed them twice. I really can't tell which is more despicable and shameless.

——Andre Sarger

After the liberation of Europe, those homosexuals who suffered various abuses were silent. After being freed, they finally understood that all the laws of their respective countries continued to punish homosexuality.

Some German homosexuals are also returning to German prisons to continue their tragic fate. It wasn't until 1994 that Germany completely repealed Article 175 on homosexuality.

In America, those gay soldiers who survived World War II were purged after Japan surrendered. In 1945, the Pentagon announced that the U.S. military was finally free from the troubles of homosexuality.
