The current exhibit at the downtown YWCA chronicling the Nazi persecution of homosexuals seems to be pertinent to the current debate in the House of Bishops. Thousands of homosexuals – particularly gay men – were murdered in concentration camps between 1933 and 1945. The exhibit details how suggestive accusations and denunciations by ordinary citizens were used to persecute people the regime considered undesirable.
