I, Pierre Seel, Deported Homosexual: A Memoir of Nazi Terror | 
I knew about this element of the Holocaust, but I had no idea the allies transported them to prisons after freeing everyone else who was lucky enough to survive. I also didn‘t know there was a book about this specific experience. I‘ve added it to my cart.

Texreader Ken Follett‘s Century Trilogy delves into this history, especially with one of the most horrible scenes in a book that I may never forget. I believe it was the second book, the best in the series. 4y
GingerAntics @Texreader is it historical fiction? I‘m always cautious about historical fiction. 4y
Texreader @GingerAntics Yes that‘s Ken Follett‘s best genre. He just tells a story about characters in a concentration camp because of their homosexuality. It definitely brings light to the fact. His Pillars of the Earth novels are his real masterpieces though. He‘s an amazing writer. 4y

GingerAntics @Texreader okay, I‘ll give him a go. You‘re part of the historical fiction inaccuracy support group, so I‘ll trust your judgement. 4y
Texreader @GingerAntics Century Trilogy went downhill for me. So it‘s hard to recommend. That second book in the trilogy was so good but I don‘t know that I‘d read it alone. Pillars of the Earth on the other hand is 5-star read. It‘s about the building of the massive churches during the Middle Ages and I understand he spent years studying the subject. May not be your cup of tea at the moment. On the other hand, it has a rather corrupt churchman!! 😉 4y
GingerAntics @Texreader that one sounds really good, actually. 4y
monkeygirlsmama I somehow missed ever hearing about this aspect. How did I miss hearing about this?! 😲 4y
GingerAntics @monkeygirlsmama there was so much hate and devastation, this certainly wasn‘t covered in my school. I doubt it was covered in most schools, in fact, especially in America. I forget where I read about it first, but I never really heard anyone talk about it until a prof brought it up in Grad School. 4y
