Synopsis
A firsthand account of the Nazi round-up and deportation of homosexuals. As a young man in France, Pierre Seel was rounded-up by the occupying Germans for appearing on a list of accused homosexuals, shipped to an internment camp where he was forced to watch the Nazis execute his lover, then "liberated" to serve on the Eastern Front as cannon fodder for the Germans. He survived the war but was forced to deny and reinvent the horrors of his past to keep a cover on his homosexuality.

Présentation de l'éditeur
On a fateful day in May 1941, in Nazi-occupied Strasbourg, seventeen-year- old Pierre Seel was summoned by the Gestapo. This was the beginning of his journey through the horrors of a concentration camp.
For nearly forty years, Seel kept this secret in order to hide his homosexuality. Eventually he decided to speak out, bearing witness to an aspect of the Holocaust rarely seen. This edition, with a new foreword from gay-literature historian Gregory Woods, is an extraordinary firsthand account of the Nazi roundup and the deportation of homosexuals.
