I don't think a lot of people know or realize this - not only were Queer people victims of the Holocaust, when everyone else was freed, Queer people were *re-imprisoned*
Imagine what that must have felt like.
The Star of David was used by the Nazis to identify Jewish people, while the pink triangle was used to mark those persecuted for being homosexual. At the time, homosexuality was criminalised in Germany, and many of the Allied countries that liberated the concentration camps including Great Britain also had laws that criminalised gay people. As a result, some survivors who were freed from Nazi camps continued to face discrimination, prosecution, and imprisonment after the war. The pink triangle was later reclaimed by the LGBT community as a symbol of remembrance, resistance, and pride, particularly in recognition of those who suffered persecution because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
