Tel Aviv Unveils First Memorial to Gay Holocaust Victims

People lay flowers in memory of gays killed by Nazis in WWII
BBC: Tel Aviv has become the first Israeli city to unveil a memorial in honour of gay and lesbian victims of the Nazi Holocaust.

The monument in the centre of the city is designed around a pink triangle - the symbol gay prisoners were forced to wear in the concentration camps.

As many as 15,000 homosexuals were killed in the Nazi camps.

Similar monuments in their memory have been erected in Amsterdam, Berlin, San Francisco and Sydney. » | Friday, January 10, 2014
