  • Summary

  • “Remembering means being annoying without end!” Albert Eckert, civil rights activist.

    Remembering queer victims of the Nazi regime has been a path of struggle and ongoing conflict up to today. This episode will explore the hostile, unbearable continuation of the criminalisation of homosexuality in both German states after the war. It will highlight the brave voices of survivors who were persecuted under Paragraph 175, and the rise of homosexual activist groups in the GDR in the 1980s who fought for the recognition of queer victims.

    Recorded and edited by: Wiktoria Kujawa & Marian Magnor
