I, Pierre Seel, Deported Homosexual: A Memoir of Nazi Terror by Pierre Seel

5.0

I have read a lot of literature about the Holocaust but I had never come across a Homosexual’s testimony. As every Holocaust story, it is upsetting and heart-rendering. Beyond the horrors of the concentration camp, I think what Seel did with this book is tell the story about a homophobic society. After he was liberated, he had to stay in the closet for a while because of how culture perceived (and in a lot of places still perceives) gay people.

"If I do not speak, I will become the accomplice of my torturers.” Pierre Seel.
