Moving film about the persecution of homosexual men during the Holocaust
Paragraph 175 is a 2000 documentary film directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. The film explores the overlooked aspect of the Holocaust where homosexual men were persecuted and tortured by the Nazis on the basis of the infamous Paragraph 175 of the German criminal code.
The documentary combines interviews with survivors, archive material and historical reconstructions to tell the story of gay men during the Holocaust. It sheds light on the terrible persecution suffered by these men, who were exposed and the profound trauma that many of them have had to endure.
Paragraph 175 is a moving and important film that draws attention to a dark chapter in history and the struggle for the recognition of the victims of homophobic persecution during the Holocaust.
