德意志帝國於1871年制定了刑法第175條「不正常通姦法」,希特勒上台後開始擴大執行,將同性戀及疑為同性戀者入獄,或送入集中營,囚衣上縫著鮮明的粉紅三角標誌,即使戰後集中營關閉,他們仍以囚犯身分繼續服刑;透過少數倖存者,娓娓道出自己在納粹時期的私密體驗,曾經活躍的柏林同性戀文化,並揭示這段被遺忘的歷史空白頁。
By the 1920s, Berlin was a gay Eden - until Hitler came to power. Adopting a rigid "pro-family" policy, the Nazis dusted off and expanded Paragraph 175, an arcane 1871 law outlawing sodomy, drove the thriving gay sub-culture underground, and soon began sending known - or suspected - homosexual men to concentration camps, where they were identified by pink triangles. Paragraph 175 features elderly homosexuals who describe their experiences during the Nazi era – and reveal the hidden chapter of history.
