Some of you may know that we recently were gladly able to have Andreas
Pretzel's book on the Fate of Persecuted Homosexuals after WW II presented
by the Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit. The
event took place at the new premises of the Berlin State Archives and
attracted an unexpectedly large crowd (more than 200 people) despite the
fact that the State Archives' premises are far from the
city.
The German news coverage wasn't really exiting; but Benjamin Weinthal, a
young American journalist working for the Aufbau managed to have a long
article on the book included into the latest
issue of New York's GayCityNews (Vol. 2, Issue 30, July 25-31, 2003) The
text ist available on their website: www.gaycitynews.com --just scroll down
and click on the picture with the book title. The
help of the Pink Triangle Coalition, the Pink Cross and the International
Nazi Persecutee Relief Fund is duely acknowledged in the last paragraph.
A draft translation of the whole book into English is nearly completed, and
Mr. Pretzel will have to look for an American publisher soon. We are
considering Haworth; additional suggestions are welcome.
Those of you who read German can find more on the Wowereit event on the
website of the Magnus Hirschfeld Society. Just type "wowereit" into the
search field, and wait a few seconds.
Kind regards from Berlin,
