Pink Triangle Legacies: Holocaust History and the Fight for LGBTQ+ Rights [VIRTUAL]

Join us as historian Dr. Jake Desai-Newsome tells the dynamic and inspiring history of the LGBTQ+ community's original pride symbol by tracing the transformation of the pink triangle from a Nazi concentration camp badge into a widespread emblem of queer liberation, pride, and community. Drawing from unexplored archival sources and original interviews, Dr. Desai-Newsome showcases the voices of LGBTQ+ Holocaust victims and a rich tapestry of queer lives who found meaning in the pink triangle in a post-Holocaust world. The presentation will be followed by Q&A.

The Pink Triangle Legacies Project honors the memory of the Nazis' LGBTQ+ victims and carries on their legacy by fighting homophobia and transphobia today through education, empowerment, and advocacy. You can learn more at pinktrianglelegacies.org.
