The Holocaust can never be forgotten

Each day German police log five anti-Semitic attacks on people and Jewish buildings, which are guarded around the clock.

50,000 men were convicted in Germany between 1933 and 1945 for homosexual acts and any ‘lewd act’.

In that same period approximately 10,000 convicted homosexual men were sent to German death camps, where they were forced to wear a pink triangle, the lowest rung of the  prisoner hierarchy.

In the last two weeks Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about homosexuality as an abomination and new laws are being introduced in the Russian Federation outlawing ‘lewd behaviour’.

Iranian law strictly forbids homosexuality.

Dutch woman Rozette, whose parents were murdered in Auschwitz, said on Friday at a Holocaust memorial service in Berlin: “If people are divided into categories of more or less value, it means that the Nazi ideology lives on and remains effective.” 

In recent days Pope Francis has been quoted as saying that homosexual activity should not be a civil offence.
