Heartbreaking in its honesty, this is an unforgettable memoir. Grateful to my friend and colleague, Dr. Jake Newsome, for telling me about Josef Kohout and where to read his story.

I have done work (and continue to ...) with Facing History and Ourselves, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and other organizations. I bought this book when I was at the USHMM for its Belfer National Conference for Teachers. My stack of Holocaust/genocide texts is high, though pitifully small compared to many other fine teachers I have worked with. I cannot recommend this text highly enough. It illuminates an often overlooked, ignored, or castigated community of persecuted people. It is not known how many homosexuals were murdered by the Nazis; survivors were persecuted after Liberation. The text also paints a clear picture of camp brutality, and the odd humanity that was sometimes present.

ich kann nicht mal in worte fassen wie unglaublich enttäuscht ich von der menschheit und unserer gesellschaft bin. nicht nur darüber, dass das alles passiert ist, sondern auch dass es potentiell wieder oder immer noch passiert und natürlich auch darüber, dass es die breite masse scheinbar nicht interessiert und nicht einmal unser schulsystem, es als erwähnenswert empfindet.
dieses buch war psychologisch gesehen sehr interessant, historisch aber absolut entmutigend.
