An incredible account that, although hard to read at times, is a vital testament to the atrocities endured by queer people.

This book is incredible. I would say it is a must read for everyone. Most people don't realize not only how horribly gay men were treated during the Holocaust, but also how the defeat of the Nazis was not liberatory for them. The Stalanist and liberal states were just as homophobic as the Nazis. There was no recompense for gay men suffering through the Holocaust, no Nuremburg for them, nothing but more imprisonment and detestations from everyone around them. Unfortunately this has resulted in very few gay male Holocaust survivors telling their stories. That makes this book so important.
