International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemorates the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp by the Red Army in 1945. Today we remember millions of victims of the Nazi regime, including those that have often been missing when talking about the victims.

Gay men, lesbians and trans people were sent into concentration camps, marked by the pink or black triangles, tortured, kept in inhumane conditions, worked to death and exterminated, along with jewish people, romani, disabled people, socialists, communists, Slavs, and others.

On these slides we will quickly cover queer prosecution by Nazis, as well ways in which for them the discrimination didn't end with the Holocaust.
