“Crimes and Offenses Against Morality,” or “Verbrechen und Vergehen wider die Sittlichkeit,” in the original German. Paragraph 175, Section 13 of the German criminal code: “A man who commits sexual acts with another man, or allows himself to be misused for sexual acts by a man, will be punished with prison.” That anti-sodomy law was a powerful tool in the persecution of homosexuals in Germany for more than half a century before the Nazis added more teeth to Paragraph 175 in 1935; prison sentences were handed down for *any* “indecency” between men. Even a whisper of suspicion or a perceived intention toward homosexual activity could cost you your life. Tens of thousands were arrested and many thousands were sent to concentration camps where the “pink triangle men” were forced to wear an inverted pink triangle patch that marked them as homosexuals. As we approach January 27th and International #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we bear witness to both the suffering and the courage of the men who were persecuted for their homosexuality, as well as others across the LGBTQ+ spectrum who suffered at the hands of the Nazis, by listening (or re-listening) to to “The Nazi Era,” season 14 of #MakingGayHistory podcast.
