Memorial to Homosexual Holocaust Victims

There is no better way to acknowledge the struggles of the gay community in Berlin than to visit the Nollendorfplatz memorial dedicated to all the victims of the homosexual community during the persecutions of World War II. The commemorative plaque (the same pink triangle the Nazi’s branded homosexuals with in concentration camps) acts as a visible reminder of the tumultuous history. It also represents the positive journey Berlin has made towards accepting the LGBTQ community.
