Please direct questions to [log in to unmask] ----Original Message Follows---- From: Ralf Dose, Magnus-Hirschfeld-Gesellschaft e.V., Berlin [log in to unmask] Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2003 21:49:34 +0200 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, Ralf Dose M.A. Magnus-Hirschfeld-Gesellschaft e.V.
