The gays had it even worse than the Jews in those camps. Many took the pink triangle and replaced it with the star of David for better treatment.
Have you been to the Holocaust Memorial in Miami? It is tastefully and overwhelmingly and importantly done. I can barely go through it (though I've done it three times) without great physical trauma. Your second to the last photo is especially memorable.
Do I need to apologize for being very moved by all you have posted. I hope not. I ties in with my own history in a huge way.
