Synopsis

Historian Klaus Müller interviews survivors of the Nazi persecution of homosexuals because of the German Penal Code of 1871, Paragraph 175.

Our take

This crucial documentary fills an essential gap in the historical record of the Holocaust by examining the persecution of homosexuals by the Nazi regime. This is the survivors’ story—an intimate, haunting film of fearless testimony that speaks to human resilience in the face of unspeakable atrocity.
