These are the stories of gay women in a Nazi concentration camp.

For decades these stories were lost, as lesbianism remained taboo in the post-Nazi era.

So today it is difficult to know exactly many lesbians were persecuted and murdered for their sexuality or how many lesbians were among other categories of prisoners in the camps.

“There was no solidarity for the homosexual prisoners; they belonged to the lowest caste,”

It is 75 years today since Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated, which signalled the beginning of the end of one of the most horrifying chapters in modern history: the Holocaust.

Every year on this day, the world remembers the millions of people who lost their lives during the Holocaust.
Up to 17 million people were exterminated under the Nazi regime, with six million Jews included in that number.

The Holocaust was, at its core, a wide-scale and violent persecution of minority groups – and LGBT+ people were not exempt. Between 1933 and 1945, an estimated 100,000 men were arrested for homosexuality in Nazi Germany. 50,000 were sentenced for their “crimes” and an estimated 5,000-15,000 gay men were sent to concentration camps.

The world today is a very different place, but the threat of violence is never too far away for minority groups. Hate crimes have surged across the world, including in the UK.

Today we remember you, and today we will continue to challenge LGBT+ hatred and other hatred alike.
