The exhibition "Homosexuals and Lesbians in Nazi Europe" is extended until May 22, 2022.
In 2021, for the first time in France, a history museum chronologically and thematically retraces the history of the persecution of homosexuals and lesbians under the Third Reich by relying on a rich selection of documents mostly never presented in France.
Long taboo, the fate of pink triangles, if it has been, for about thirty years, the subject of historical research in the foreground, is still unknown. Indeed, it was only thanks to the gay and lesbian liberation movement of the 1970s that the subject began to be debated, raising many questions that constitute memorial issues: what was the nature of the persecutions? How many people were affected? Were all homosexuals targeted? What was the fate of lesbians? Which territories were affected by the repression, notably in France? How can we honor the memory of the victims?
