Harrowing look at persecution, 27 August 2005
7/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

The golden days of decadent Berlin, Germany came to a bloody halt when Hitler's regime took over in the early 1930s and gay men were brought down by simple innuendo and gossip (lesbianism was considered curable, but homosexuality was "catching"). Early talk of homosexuality in Hitler's ranks precipitated the reinsertion of Paragraph 175, an old anti-sodomy law from the late 1800s, and gays were branded with the lowly Pink Triangle. Forceful documentary on a little talked-about chapter of history has just a handful of elderly witnesses but a superlative presentation of personally-shot footage mixed with telling photographs. Some of the recollections are haunting; the doomed come back to life in these harrowing stories. *** from ****
