Just back from my first Europe trip. A surprise stop in Amsterdam led me to the Homomonument—powerful and moving. My second monument after the Pink Triangle Memorial in San Fran, I keep a pink quartz from there on my desk. Someday, I hope to visit Berlin, Sydney, and Sitges too.

Thérèse Pierre, a queer teacher and French Resistance leader, led a cell of 100 soldiers, launching attacks on the Gestapo. She was posthumously honored for her courage and sacrifice. #pinktriangleportraits #lgbtart #art #holocaust #pinktriangle #rosawinkel #gayart #queerart #paragraph175

Heinz Dörmer, featured in Paragraph 175, spent 10 years in Nazi camps.

Willi Kühlen, born in 1912, was a salesman turned artist, persecuted for being gay under the Nazi regime. Arrested, imprisoned, forced into military service, he was killed in May 1945. #pinktriangleportraits #lgbtart #art #holocaust #pinktriangle #rosawinkel #gayart #queerart #paragraph175

Johann Scheff, arrested by the Nazis at 16. Despite the terror, he smirked—a quiet act of defiance against a regime that sought to erase him.
