Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany sought domination over Europe and, in what is now called the Holocaust, the total annihilation of Europe’s Jews. As part of its effort to create a “master Aryan race,” the Nazi government persecuted other groups, including Germany’s homosexual men.

Through reproductions of some 250 historic photographs and documents, Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals 1933–1945 examines the rationale, means, and impact of the Nazi regime’s attempt to eradicate homosexuality that left thousands dead and shattered the lives of many more.

The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction is a co-sponsor of this exhibition.
