Seventy years ago today, the Red Army liberated the Nazi extermination camp at Auschwitz - a place of death for over a million Jews, but also a place of death for many thousands of Roma people, disabled people and gay people . Read this reflection from Benjamin Cohen, the founder of Pink News: Holocaust Memorial Day: The lessons we should learn from the Nazi persecution of gay people ยท PinkNews
I read it, and the most shocking aspect of the "liberation" of the gay inmates is that they were kept in prison for being gay!
Also, Alan Turing, the cryptanalyst who made important contributions to the Allied effort was driven to suicide.
Today we had an assembly on the holocaust and I got really annoyed because they said that every single one of the people killed were Jews. You know, and none of them were homosexuals, political enemies, people who were "asocial" (Which meant a woman who wouldn't cook, clean and make babies so included lesbians and feminists), and regular criminals. And they liberated the gay men by putting them in prison. What?
