Randy, I have a book somewhere about gays in the camps. I'll shovel thorugh the piles and see if I can find it, or search out a reference. I agree that this information would provide good data to the discussion.

Was there anything on gays in the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.? I don't recall anything. Interesting.

Regards from the windy city, where every allergen on earth is alive and well,

Randy, the book I have is Men With the Pink Triangle : The True, Life-And-Death Story of Homosexuals in the Nazi Death Campsby Heinz Heger. I also discovered I haven't read it, so it looked good enough to buy, but I never got around to reading it. I would suggest checking it out via Amazon before buying it. If you do, let me know what you think.
Sorry to be so late... :oops:
