That being said, I do agree that the other victims of the Holocaust tend to get ignored far too often. Even in the normal concentration camps, it seems that all the prisoners are Jews. This ignores the myriad of other groups detained in the camps, such as Romanis (gypsies), political dissentors and homosexuals. The homosexuals got it especially bad, as they were bullied by both the camp staff and their fellow prisoners. To top it all off, when the homosexuals were finally released, those who ended up in the Federal Republic of Germany were despatched immediately to prison under Paragraph 175. While the German Democratic Republic was no paradise, at least it was quick to suspend its anti-homosexuality laws; Paragraph 175 was only suspended in the FDR in 1994, when it had been rendered redundant in the GDR in 1957.



Actually in the higher echelons of the nazi party as well as the Hitler Youth Homosexuality was practiced and tolerated

You're thinking of the Sturmabteilung, not the NSDAP. And while Hitler tolerated - tolerated being the optimum word here - Ernt Rohm et al's sexuality, he only did so when they were of political use to him. The moment Rohm became more of a hinderance, Hitler had him - along with a litany of others - assassinated during the Night of the Long Knives. The ostensible basis for this was the fact that Rohm was a homosexual.

So it is quite strong to say that homosexuality was "practiced and tolerated".

"The Hitler Book" which is a translation of Stalin's secret Dossier on Hitler, was prepared after the KGB interegated Hitler's closest aids. It has a whole chapter on Ernst Röhm's murder and states loud and clear that homosexuality was practiced and tolerated in the high echelons of the party and the Hitler Youth.

I just wish they made holocaust films that include victims other than Jews. Poles, for example, were on the extermination list and they get ignored or painted as pro-Nazi collaborators.
Half the known victims of the holocaust weren't Jewish at all, but they're forgotten. :(


Well there was the Pianist, the protagonist is a Polish Jew.

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.
