Pink Triangles
 | |  |  |  | Published since: September 17, 2011 Last update: September 18, 2011 |
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.
