Gays remembered at Auschwitz Holocaust memorial.

[blogactive]

Friends,

I've just posted an article on RawStoryQ that is a first hand account of yesterday's memorial for gay victims of the Holocaust.

http://www.UKGayNews.org.uk editor Andy Harley wrote the story which is accompanied by an incredibly powerful photograph outside of the camp.

You can see the story here: http://rawstoryq.com/news/2005/index.php?p=65

Also, ONLY for DU readers, I've posted a larger version of Andy's powerful photo here: http://www.rawstoryq.com/du_exclusives/rainbow_flag_at_auschwitz

5. It still is so powerful despite 60 years having passed

Germany was the most progressive nation on earth in the 1920's and then it became an unending nightmare. It still shocks the conscience to think of it. Thanks for the story.
