It should be added, perhaps, that the Holocaust Museum in DC fully covers Gay persecution. Bleuel, Hans Peter, Sex and Society in Nazi Germany, (Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1974) [Discusses inter alia, Roehm's murder, and the view that homosexuals should be drowned in bogs as amongst the ancient Germans.] Bock, Gisela, "Racism and Sexism in Nazi Germany", Signs 8:3 (1993) Eldorado, ed. by the Berlin Museum, (Berlin: Frolich & Kaufmann, 1984) [Illustrates history of gay men and lesbians in Germany before 1950, based on a 1984 exhibition.] Herzer, Manfred, "Nazis, Psychiatrists, and Gays", Cabirion 12 (Spring/Summer, 1985) Kokula, Ilse, Der Kampf gegen Unterdruckung, (Munich: Verlag Frauenoffensive, 1975) [Development of modern German Lesbian movement.] Kokula, Ilse, Der Kampf gegen Unterdruckung, (Munich: Verlag Frauenoffensive, 1975) [Development of modern German Lesbian movement.] *Lauritsen, John & David Thorstad, The Early Homosexual Rights Movement (1864-1953), (New York: Times Chnage Press, 1974) [First book on the subject in 1970s.] *Lautmann, Rudiger, "The Pink Triangle: The Persecution of Homosexual Males in Concentration Camps in Nazi Germany ", Journal of Homosexuality 6:1/2 (1980), pp. 141-160 Lautmann, Rudiger & E. Vismar, Pink Triangle: The Social History of Antihomosexual Persecution in Nazi Germany, (forthcoming, ref. in Jnl.Homo 6 (1980), p. 160) Plant, Richard, "The Men with the Pink Triangles", Christopher Street (Feb. 1978) pp. 4-10 *Plant, Richard, The Pink Triangle: The Nazi War Against Homosexuals, (New York: Owl/New Republic/Henry Holt, 1986) [Probably the best book on the Nazi treatment of gays, but far from perfect. Useful bibliography.] *Rector, Frank, The Nazi Extermination of Homosexuals, (1981) Schoppmann, Claudia, Nationalsozialistische Sexualpolitik und weibliche Homosexualitaet. Pfaffenweiler: Centaurus, 1991. Doctoral Dissertation at Freie Universit{t Berlin 1990. Steakley, James, "Homosexuals and the Third Reich", in Ed Jackson & Stan Persky, eds., Flaunting It: A Decade of Gay Journalism from The Body Politic, (Vancouver: New Star Books; Toronto: Pink Triangle Press, 1982), pp. 84-90 [First English account of gays in Nazi Germany, TBP 11 (Feb, 1974)] *Steakley, James, The Homosexual Emancipation Movement in Germany, (New York: Arno, 1975) [Most important text on the issue.] Stumke, Hans-Georg & Rudi Finkler, Rosa Winkel, Rosa Listen, (Hamburg: Rowohlt, 1981) [Most comprehensiev treatment of gay movement in Germany, from Hirshcfeld until now.] I should perhaps add that the most recent book, in German, on the issue is not in the above list. This is Burkhard Jellonek, _Homosexuelle unter dem Hakenkreuz_ [Homosexuals under the Swastika], [Paderborn: Ferdinand Schoeningh, 1990]. This work is immeasurably more detailed and scholarly than Plant's, but does not yet seem to have been translated into English. Thanks to Paul Halsall who compiled this bibliography. /Bjorn bjorn.skolander@nordiska.uu.se
