The picture of two gay men kissing which can be seen trough the window of this recently dedicated monument suggests to me that the promoters may themselves be terribly prejudiced. Why? For the following reason. Homosexuals were a recognized special group in concentration camps. Like Jews they wore badges which identified them as homosexuals. According to Nazi-principles the persecuted category included both gays AND lesbians although in the concentration camps the second group was very much smaller than the first because Nazi prosecutors tended to be more lenient on women. My mother who spent nine month in the concentration camp Vught in The Netherlands for hiding Jewish friends in our house met a German woman who was there in transit to a camp in Germany because she had obstinately refused to stop living openly with her partner. That woman was probably killed in camp Sachsenhausen. The apparent exclusion of lesbian victims from this Berlin monument could be an inexcusable and egregious blunder.
