Sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld and his partner Li Shiu Tong pioneered LGBTQ+ science. Together they studied sexuality and gender as natural spectrums, defied Nazis, and preserved queer knowledge at great personal risk. #pinktriangleportraits #art #holocaust #pinktriangle #gayart #paragraph175

Liddy Bacroff, a trans woman & writer persecuted in Nazi Germany, held fiercely to her identity. She was killed in Mauthausen in 1943. Today her memory endures. #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance #TDOR #pinktriangleportraits #LiddyBacroff #lgbtart #holocaust #pinktriangle #gayart #queerart #paragraph175

Johann Scheff, arrested by the Nazis at 16. Despite the terror, he smirked—a quiet act of defiance against a regime that sought to erase him.

Heinz Dörmer. He spent 10 years in concentration camps and prisons; many pink triangle prisoners were not freed by the Allies and were forced to complete their Nazi imposed sentences in prison after the war.#art #pinktriangleportraits #paragraph175 #lgbtart #gayart #holocaustremembrance

Albrecht Becker
Albrecht was an artist and photographer. When the Gestapo arrested him for being gay, he courageously yelled at them “Everyone knows I’m (gay)!” and denied nothing.

Nachdem Paul Gerhard Vogel bereits im August 1933 seine Stelle verloren hatte wegen seiner Nähe zu Kommunisten, wurde er später zweimal verurteilt aufgrund des Paragrafen 175. Er war u.a. in den Emslandlagern Neusustrum, Esterwegen u. Brual-Rhede inhaftiert. #PrideMonth #LGBTIQ* #paragraph175

Kurt von Ruffin, a gay actor and Nazi camp survivor, bravely shared his story in a 1994 doc. Tortured but spared, he exposed Nazi cruelty toward queer people. He died in Berlin at 95 in 1996. #pinktriangleportraits #lgbtart #art #holocaust #pinktriangle #rosawinkel #gayart #queerart #paragraph175

Günter Pieka, born January 24, 1920, in Brice, Slovakia, was deported to Auschwitz on May 23, 1941, for being gay. He disappears from the record after that, his fate lost to history. #pinktriangleportraits #lgbtart #art #holocaust #pinktriangle #rosawinkel #gayart #queerart #paragraph175

and the last prisoners jailed under it were releases 2004 - 20 years ago. Most of you were already alive that day.
I'm from Germany - and it's scary how many people seem to have forgotten about it and vote for parties that seek to bring back laws like #Paragraph175.
