Event Description for Calendar:Students in ANT 320 (Gender in Anthropological Perspective) have been studying a variety of topics related to gender across the world. This group of students picked this film to show as part of our series and are conducting research into this specific case. They will provide important background information as well as discussion to get the audience considering the implications of this case in light of current issues.
By the 1920's, Berlin had become known as a homosexual eden, where gay men and lesbians lived relatively open lives amidst an exciting subculture of artists and intellectuals. With the coming to power of the Nazis, all this changed. Between 1933 and 1945 100,000 men were arrested for homosexuality under Paragraph 175, the sodomy provision of the German penal code dating back to 1871. Some were imprisoned, others were sent to concentration camps. Of the latter, only about 4,000 survived. Today, fewer than ten of these men are known to be living. Five of them have now come forward to tell their stories for the first time. After viewing the documentary, there will be a short discussion led by ANT 320 students.
