PARAGRAPH 175

By the early 1930s, Berlin was a gay Eden—until Hitler came to power. Adopting a rigid "pro-famiy" policy, the Nazis dusted off and expanded Paragraph 175, an arcane 1871 law outlawing sodomy, drove the thriving gay sub-culture underground, and soon began sending known—or suspected—homosexual men to prison or to concentration camps, where they were identified by pink triangles. Actor Rupert Everett provides the narration for this disquieting documentary that shines a light on one of the last untold stories of the Third Reich.
