Gedenktafel_Rosa_Winkel_Nollendorfplatz.jpg


Summary

Description
Deutsch: Erinnerung an die Verfolgung Homosexueller zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus.
English: Memorial about the persecution of homosexuals during the epoch of Nazism.

Translation of the inscription on the memorial stone:
Killed
Hushed up
To the homosexual victims of Nazism
The "pink triangle" was the sign the Nazis marked homosexuals in the concentration camps in a defamatory manner.

From January 1933 on all homosexual cafes around Nollendorplatz were either closed or used during raids to make "pink files" (databases of homosexuals).
