Summary
The Nazi persecution of homosexuals may be the last untold story of the Third Reich. This documentary film fills a crucial gap in the historical record, and reveals the lasting consequences of this hidden chapter of 20th century history. The story is told through interviews with the less than ten known homosexual survivors of Nazi concentration camps. Their testimonies, rendered with evocative images of their lives and times, tell a haunting, compelling story of human resilience.
