- For National Gay Pride Month, USC Shoah Foundation is featuring a testimony clip each week in June of eyewitnesses to the Nazi persecution of gay men during the Holocaust. In this clip, young Kitty Fischer recounts being in Auschwitz-II Birkenau, and encountering, for the first time, a gay male prisoner - who would save her life.

I knew Kitty FIscher as a good friend in my Australian years, and I am delighted to see this video memorialising her experience, which she often told. I attended her funeral, after a very moving memorial service.
May the memory of this gentleman be blessed
wow. glad she made it... hope our gay brother survived the war as well ...
The Pink Triangle. Never Forget.
I've decided I'm going to get it tattoed on my chest.
This is fascinating. I wish there were more footage and information about people who wore the Pink Triangle. This would make a great documentary.
ratt57 there’s one documentary called Paragraph 175 you might want to check out. I believe I found it (for free) on Vimeo at some point.
There was one on here called The Pink Triangles by James Somerton but guess who took it down? It's now on Vimeo and can be found on Google
She has a strong character. She'd make a good leader. Inspiring. Be strong and practical in that kind of situation, as much as you can.
Look what Hitler did with his leadership.
@@faithdavis4453 ... are you really comparing her to Hitler?
@@ember-brandt I believe the comment is about leadership and how it can go to a person's head-ego-whatever. faithdavis is not comparing her to Hitler. Don't always look for the bad in people. Reading things slowly and without being defensive helps.
God rest this mans soul אלוהים יברך את נשמתו
Awww what an amazing man. Heartbreaking what prejudice does.. how awesome that he was so open about it but i guess he had to be when they marked him with a pink triangle...
she remembered his whole story despite everything else at the time
Makes sense. Trauma is usually either seared into a person's brain permanently or entirely blocked out. It's never chronicled casually in the brain.
I hope the man made it out ok.
even if he didn’t die in the camp, he would’ve been sent to jail. when the camps were liberated the soviets sent the men who wore the pink triangles (gay men) to german prison. gay men were never liberated.
Amazing, this gay guy was a good man. Great story
There are má y documentaries about our brave hay fellows
Does anyone know who this man was or what became of him? What about her sister? Did she make it?
God bless that gay mans soul. What a beautiful story ❤️ ❤️❤️
G od Bless this great Man thank to this Woman Who remember Merci
I wish there was a long video of Kitty's story!!!
may the man who helped her be among the blessed.
LOVE this story!
Imagine that paragraph 175 remained in effect till 1994 in the German law, although it was modified slighthly in the 60s and 70s
God Bless her soul. Kitty was a powerful mentor in my life. i never saw this before, and know so many of her stories. She always visited me, and wanted small potatoes with lots of butter fried onions for lunch. My God I miss her!
Wow truly amazing story!!!
The stories are toooo terrible to imagine even what they went through
Amazing testimony. Riveting. God bless this woman and her protector. I have to say that was a very strange question to ask her, 'why you? was it because you spoke such good German?" which then leads her down a reaction path, when he just simply should have listened to her experience and not interpret or project upon her.
Did she ever meet the man after the war?
Thank you for sharing
gays will always look out for women.
Where can we see her entire testimony please? Can you provide a link or upload it? Thank you in advance

Turn up the sound. Would you please?
The Germans thought it necessary to give gay men a pink star to wear.
I guess they thought it was funny. A man wearing pink will certainly stand out.
Respect
Did her sister get on the list too?
God bless his memory. I hope he survived.
That's so interesting. Schindler wasn't the only one then.
There were many people who didn't submit to the Nazis.
Maybe part of why he noticed you, was because you didn't spit on him.
@ 0:25 "kolacja" is Polish and means "dinner".
Fod Bless that man ❤️🙏
Homosexuals played a big part during world war II whther they were part of the resistance or they were prisoners in concentration camps taking care of the children and the other prisoners. You see gay people, whether you like us or not, play a vital role in society. So please do not underestimate our capabilities.
Interesting
The gay movement was founded after the war by Harry Hay this man was a homosexual ,
what about your sister ????? did she get selected to work at the weaving plant??
You don't show enough of their life ??
Welp don't say you work on arts to Gestapo...
Pride comes before the fall
You didn't listen to a word she said.
And people still beleive in god xD
God's a bastard
@Bubble Tea 123 HE DOSENT EXIST
@@ELIAB424 so what do you say to people who survived the Holocaust and believe in God?
God drew me to him when i wa in the mist of tragedies, so I can understand that people who suffered the Holocaust believed In God as it is not God who inflicts cruelty on people, but human beings. Homosexuals are human beings to be respected
@@farapipsqueek636 Many people who survived say there is no God. They are deeply empathic because they witnessed so much suffering and death and went through so much, and God never showed up, the Soviets, Brits and Americans came instead.
I love how gay people feel like as if this was a victory for gays. I wonder how many straight men were the ones that stormed the beaches and did the fighting. I think maybe 1 out of every 1 million might of been gay lmfao. Lets here it for the straight men!!! Wooohooo
Oh shut up… and it’s “have” not “of”
One gay man saved 14 million lives in World War II by breaking the German Enigma Code and ending the war years early. You aren't a man at all compared to him. You have far more in common with the Nazis.
There were plenty of gay men in the military of all countries that were able to hide their real feelings from themselves and others. Many passed as straight men. That takes real courage, discipline and tenacity!
Hello Slapz K. I am reading a wonderful book called Coming out under fire, gay men and women in the military. It has stories and history of gay men and women serving during WW2. Please check it out. The army during WW2 was not as straight as people make it out to be. I'm sure many gay men or bi men stormed the beaches as well. Please understand this. Thanks so much
Pride? Pride in what? a sexual choice? how do you have pride in that? so, should heterosexuals have pride too? for that choice? nothing to have pride about.
grizz tough being gay isn’t a choice tho. i didn’t wake up one day and decide “lol im gonna eat pussy now”. i never liked boys, always thought they were gross and ugly. when i got my first crush on a girl i finally realized. i didn’t look at her and say “damn lol im gonna have a crush on her now”. it was like heterosexual crushes, involuntary. sure some people will fake being gay because they want to be special, but that’s less than 10% of the community.
The pride comes from sadly many lgbt people not having good feelings about themselves and how others make them feel about the themselves. So pride is more about giving confidence to one another more then anything.
@@grizztough4091 sweetheart a person who is gay is gay if they have sex or not. Just like you are straight if you have sex or not. You seem to be very ignorant on this topic.
Pride that we get to be ourselves. Pride that we can be open about who we love. Pride we don't have to hide, to be scared of being beaten, to be killed in the streets, that we don't have to be scared of what people are going to think. Pride we finnaly can be ourselves for once.
@@historyarmyproductions pride to be yourselves? ok, anyone can say that, doesn t mean you are a good person. Its pride in your sexual choice. sooooo, how is that an accomplishment? waving flags, marching around.... you are proud of who you have sex with? uh.....ok.... so you have to announce it to the world? makes zero sense
