Mon 19 Sep. September 19, 2011 - November 28, 2011 PLACE University of Louisville William F. Ekstrom Library 2301 South 3rd St. Louisville, KY 40203, USA Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany sought domination over Europe and, in what is now called the Holocaust, the total annihilation of Europe's Jews. As part of its effort to create a "master Aryan race," the Nazi government persecuted other groups, including Germany's homosexual men. Believing them to be carriers of a "degeneracy" that threatened the nation's "disciplined masculinity" and hindered population growth, the Nazi state incarcerated in prisons and concentration camps tens of thousands of men as a means of terrorizing German homosexuals into social conformity. Through reproductions of some 250 historic pho. 100 Rauol Wallenberg Place, SW, Washington, D.C., 20024-2126. Andrea Lewis, 202-314-7810, alewis@ushmm.org.

Their orchestrated book burnings across Germany would tragically prove the wisdom of German-Jewish writer Heinrich Heine's 19th century warning "where one burns books, one soon burns people.". 100 Rauol Wallenberg Place, SW, Washington, D.C., 20024-2126.
