Description

Finally back in print, the classic, powerful first-hand account of Nazi persecution of gay people.

For decades, history ignored the Nazi persecution of gay people. Only with the rise of the gay movement in the 1970s did historians finally recognise that gay people, like Jews and others deemed 'undesirable', suffered enormously at the hands of the Nazi regime.

Of the few who survived the concentration camps, even fewer ever came forward to tell their stories. This heart-wrenchingly vivid account of one man's arrest and imprisonment by the Nazis for the crime of homosexuality, now with a new foreword by Sarah Schulman, remains an essential contribution to gay history and our understanding of historical fascism, as well as a remarkable and complex story of survival and identity.
