The exhibit is in an airy gallery with a beautiful view of the Statue of Liberty and the Harbor.

Representatives from Yale GALA, FFR/Princeton BTGALA and other GALAs will be seated in the exhibit space with name tags, to give us the opportunity to connect and to chat informally about the show.  Ask for a name tag to find our group.

Many thanks to FFR/Princeton BTGALA's Diana Silverman for organizing the event.

Thanks also to co-hosts:

Between 1933 and 1945, the Nazi German regime promoted racial health policies that sought to eliminate all sources of biological corruption to its dominant "Aryan" race. Among the groups persecuted as threats to the national health were Germany's homosexual men. Believing them to be carriers of a "degeneracy" that weakened society and hindered population growth, the Nazi state arrested and incarcerated in prisons and concentration camps tens of thousands of German men as a means of terrorizing them into social conformity.

This exhibition examines the Nazi regime's attempt to eradicate homosexuality. The Nazis' efforts left thousands dead and shattered the lives of many more.
