I, Pierre Seel, Deported Homosexual: A Memoir of Nazi Terror by Pierre Seel
A great follow up to Heger's Men With the Pink Triangle, providing another account of the treatment of homosexuals under the Nazi regime. Pierre had distinctly different experiences however, and it was interesting to discover that the use of the pink triangle was not universal.
This book is much more forward thinking than Heger's account, and it despairs over the lack of information and recognition of the persecution of homosexuals under the Nazi regime. This book also explains in depth his life after WWII, detailing his PTSD and alcoholism, giving a well rounded account of the after effects of such trauma.
An important read, which I am hesitant, once again, to give a star rating to.
