This is depiction both symbolises and commemorates the homosexual victims of the Nazi Holocaust. Gay men, arrested in their thousands by the Nazis were made to wear pink triangles on their prison uniforms as a form of identification and classification. These triangles do not appear on the naked bodies of the three central figures but appear in the smoke that is being emitted from the crematoria chimneys in the background.

Terrible, et trop peu évoqué, le devoir de mémoire est une chose importante pour éviter de telles horreurs. Ce tableau dérange et bouscule, mais la symbolique est forte. Il fallait avoir le courage de le faire, bravo.
