Description: "This book chronicles the seventy-five-year struggle for the acknowledgment and memorialization of the Nazis' LGBTQ victims. It simultaneously traces how LGBTQ people in Germany and the United States transformed the pink triangle from a Nazi concentration camp badge into an international symbol of queer identity and activism beginning in the 1970s"--

Review Quotes:

This book presents a compelling intervention into the study of the Holocaust and its aftermath... Newsome's emotional generosity shapes a narrative of postwar symbolism and memorynecessary to understanding all that was at stake.
