Scope and Content

Documentary film about the gay survivors of Nazi Germany, including interviews with three gay survivors. As many as 15,000 homosexuals were sent to concentration camps, targeted by the Nazis as subversives. The "A" -- which stood for "Arschficker" [Assfucker] -- refers to a symbol that pre-dated the pink triangle which gay prisoners were forced to wear. *** Copies available with and without English subtitles ***
