Life and Death of Homosexuals under the Nazi Regime

Part I. Life and Death of Homosexuals under the Nazi Regime

Guest: David Fernbach is a freelance writer, editor and translator.  His publications and translations include the three-volume edition of Karl Marx’s Political Writings, The Spiral Path: a gay contribution to human survival, and The Men With the Pink Triangle: The True, Life-and-Death Story of Homosexuals in the Nazi Death Camps.

The Men With the Pink Triangle appeared first in 1980 by Gay Men’s Press in which David Fernbach also participated in the publication and translation of the book.   The book is a revolutionary work, and still one of the very few memoirs by a gay victim of Nazism.  Written by Heinz Heger, a pseudonym used by Josef Kohout (1917-1994).
