Enemies of the State: The Nazi Persecution of LGBTQ+ People

29 Oct 2024 | In commemoration of LGBTQ+ History Month, Dr. Jake Newsome will share the experiences of this marginalized group, untangling the complex motivations that convinced Nazi leaders that combating homosexuality was vital to the success of the Third Reich.

Dr. Jake Newsome is an award-winning scholar of German and American LGBTQ+ history whose research and resources educate global audiences. He is the Founder and Director of the Pink Triangle Legacies Project, a grassroots initiative that honors the memory of the Nazi’s queer victims and carries on their legacy by fighting homophobia and transphobia today through education, empowerment, and advocacy.

Thank you to our Community Partners: Pink Triangle Legacies Project, Affirmations LGBTQ+ Community Center, and Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit Pride.
