Memorial in Melk: Memory of homosexual concentration camp prisoners

in Melk will take place on Saturday, October 12th, an important memorial for homosexual concentration camp prisoners. This event is part of the comprehensive project "Look at. Look at.", Which wants to draw attention to the fate and persecution of homosexual people during the Nazi era. The commemoration offers the community the opportunity to commemorate those who had to experience great suffering due to their sexual orientation.

The organization of this memorial event is part of a broader endeavor to maintain the memory of the dark chapters of history. Homosexual prisoners were particularly violently affected during National Socialism, and it is important to give them a voice and to appreciate their suffering.
