A Memorial for Gay Victims in Berlin



A monument was unveiled in Berlin in memory of the thousands of homosexuals persecuted, tortured and murdered by the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. It is estimated that the Nazis sent between 5,000 and 15,000 gays to concentration camps. The memorial is designed by the Berlin-based Norwegian-Danish artist duo Ingar Dragset and Michael Elmgreen with footage of two men kissing, directed by the Danish Thomas Vinterberg. "If today, in 2008, 63 years after the end of the National Socialist era, we unveil a monument in the middle of the capital to homosexuals killed ... it is not only in memory of the horrors of the past... It is also first and foremost an expression of our conviction that in our country there is no place for the discrimination of homosexuals, of people who think and live differently," Culture Minister Bernd Neumann said. Openly gay Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit, used the occasion to plead for broader rights for gays and lesbians in Germany: "Even today, discrimination is an everyday occurrence. We still do not have legal equality." Watch an AP's video...
