During the Nazi regime, there was widespread persecution of homosexual men, which started in 1871 with the Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code. Thousands were murdered in concentration camps. This powerful and disturbing documentary, narrated by Rupert Everett, presents for the first time the largely untold testimonies of some of those who survived.
Klaus Müller is a representative for Europe for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Thanks for this; it's been on my list for years. Free on Kanopy if folks' local library system participates, and also on Criterion.

Interviewees describe life in the Weimar Republic, the shifts in policy, arrests, torture, and concentration camps. The overall tone is simple and authentic.
