The Gradual Increase of Nazi Persecution of the homosexual

  • Adolf Hitler Appointed Chancellor of Germany

    In November of 1932, the Nazi party won 33 percent of the vote, which was more than any other party, in the German Election. Due to this, President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler, who was the head of the National Socialist German Workers Party (NAZI Party), the new chancellor of Germany.
  • Reichstag Fire Decree

    This law was put into place by President von Hindenburg. This law took away freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right for people to assemble. This meant that the government now could control what was being published to citizens of Germany. The gays had no syaing in any of this as in they could not have the free speak in it.
  • Dachau concentration camp opens

    The first Concentration camp opened by the Nazi Originally made for incarcerate political opponents of the regime. Dachau had kept 4,800 prisoners. Most were imprisoned for political reasons for being a socialist or a comminist a social democrat. They opened the camps for the people that are jewish and gay and the people that are not following hitler.
  • Enabling Act

    “Law for Rectification of the Distress of Nation and Reich” was passed on the date 3/23/33 and was targeted toward the group of everyone in Germany, and it’s goal was to get everyone to vote for Hitler (Ew). The way that this was affecting everyone’s lives was because they were influenced to vote for a leader that is actually not going to do much good for them. Like they said they wanted everyone to vote for hitler counting gays and more in the LGBTQ+ community.
  • Burning of “Un-German” Books

    Basically, what happened in this event is Hitler ordered all of the Nazis to burn all of the books, almost, because the only books considered to be okay were ones that were pro-nazi. Any book that was Anti-Nazi, Un-German, or published by a Jew were burned.
  • Hitler becomes Fuhrer

  • Mandatory Military Service

    When a military needs people to fight in a war, but there aren't enough volunteers, sometimes they'll begin conscription, which is a law that says if you are able to fight, you have to fight. Also called the draft, conscription legally requires people to join the army, with penalties if they don't. I think you need to be straight to join the army so if you were gay you would have to hide it.
  • Revision of paragraph 175

    This law was already an existing law but it was revised by the German government. This law had gay men persecuted because the were seen as corrupting “ german Values” because they where not adding to the population, But since lesbians could still have biological children they were usually not targeted. This is not fair because they were killed because they could not add to the population.

  • First Prisoners Arrive at Auschwitz

    In june 1940 all Christian and Jewish people were put into concentration camps and most of them went to the most popular camp of all Auschwitz and were imprisoned for years and tested on and killed. They were sent to the prison because they were gay and could not bring more people into the world.
  • Announcement of death penalty for aiding jews

    What the law does is it tells people if they help jews or if they were caught hiding. It's unfair because they would have to hide so they would not get caught or killed because of who they were.
