You always hear about the Jews who died during WWII. But people rarely talk about what happened to homosexuals during that time except in passing. Thank you for this piece!
There where also the disabled and Gypsies
Aristotle Quintana And Jehovah’s Witnesses
turysta If gay men controlled the media there would be dozens of films offered about this on Netflix alone.
This is not true I live in Germany (I am German) and since I first learned about it and talked to other people including my Grandfather who was an eyewitness but very young they have always included all victims. So I can't confirm. I will visit Sachsenhausen for the 2nd time next week (first time with my History teacher) and He has and will talk about who was executed durin the NS regime
But Idk about America but the people I have talked to where very including about Homosexuality in the Konzentration Camps
I'm glad someone finally made a short about the Pink Triangle. Most people don't know it was created by the Nazi's and meant nothing but pain and horror to the men that were forced to wear it.
funny how people wear it today. like some kind of sick joke.
@@666Necropsy, now it has another meaning, it evolved into a poverful symbol for some of us.
This is a masterpiece
@@avaiblehandle to some it has a different meaning, yes, but for some of the older gents, it still symbolizes the pain and suffering we have all done and gone through to get where we are today. I would like for ALL the younger gents (and gals) to make this a part of their video library and watch it every now and then as a reminder of what we went through to get here. And some of the younger crowd is STILL going through it today when their parents kick them out of the house when they find out their son or daughter is gay. I personally know 4 individuals whose parents kicked them out two years ago. Two of them were beaten up pretty bad when some of their friends found out, one of them nearly died. So please, don't just continue saying and believing that it has evolved to mean something different.
@user77836, when you look at it in all honesty, can you really say that it has totally been repealed? Even in our country of the United States, we may not have something like paragraph 175, but some parents who kick their son or daughter out of the home when they hear their child is gay; practice paragraph 175 pretty strongly. Then when some of their friends find out, they beat them up. I personally know of 4 who were kicked out of their home. Two were beaten so badly they were nearly unrecognizable. One of them nearly died from their injuries. I, myself have been beaten and left for dead two different times. So, I ask you again, is paragraph 175 really repealed?
Never forget the ones who came before us. They pave the way and fought for equality for all.
I fear the current generation is beginning to froget the lessons of the past.
And now many of us are just as bad as those who came after us in the past What a shame
College production? Expertly done in ALL aspects of production. Better than most "professionally" produced gay themed films.
I couldn't watch this, once I realised what the story was about. As a Jewish gay it was just too painful, but thank you for creating this so no one forgets all the sins of the Reich. x
Shalom Marcus, I watched...and cried. Shalom... in every sense of it's meaning
I had no idea that homosexuals were persecuted in the holocaust. I thought it was only the Jews and some Christians. Sorry for my ignorance 😔
Amanda Nichols, "Martin Niemöller", look him up. Add the French Resistance, dissidents, Russian Soldiers, Gypsies and others and Marcus? *Get out of Palestine.*
And if any of you object, ask yourself if you would tell a German to "get out of Poland" in 1936, knowing what you know now.
@@amandanichols3956 Well, now you learned something new. Just keep learning, please.
This film made me cry. I'm a lesbian, but gay men had it much worse under the Nazis. I can understand how painful this would be for you to watch, especially since you are both Jewish and gay. Shalom.
It's worth noting that whilst many of the groups mentioned were liberated after the war, the gays weren't as the British, Americans and Russians still viewed homosexuality as a crime. Gay men incarcerated in Nazi concentration camps during World War II were forced back into prison even after the Allied forces won that conflict.
As a former film student myself, I have to say that THIS is one of the best I have ever seen. Everything-props, lighting, music, sound effects, the period props, the costumes, and of course the acting. As the comments below state, this was long ago, yet NOT that long ago. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have lived in that time.
Bravo. And the actor who played the Standartenfuehrer is almost a dead ringer for Reinhard Heydrich, one of the most brutal of the Nazis. "The Butcher of Prague" he was called.
Much applause to all involved in this work.
Bill D I
It wasn’t that bad really back in 2010. I guess you did have to be a bit more discreet though, especially on Facebook.
Bill D i
Well imagine it...and let us not let happen again.
My grandparents experienced the WWII. I hope these times will never come back. Sadly, most people of this generation don't live anymore to talk about the terrors of those times. I'm really grateful for this film. Awesome. My respect.
The same things Is happening Nowadays in many countries
George Michael
Montgomery Clift
Rock Hudson
Pretty policemen to catch gays
…….
the amount of non-verbal emotion that was carried through the entire film, i am in awe. Knowing EXACTLY what he is thinking with absolutely no words. VERY well done, and i agree the music, and period costuming was done so beautifully. Very Impressive.
Horrific that this actually happened not so long ago, only a few years before I was born.Wonderful acting excellent movie.thank you!!
Same... WWII ended 14 years before my birth...
Such a short time!
When I was a child I thought it was ancient history...
It's hard to believe this took place in the 20th century in a modern Western country. Everybody should visit the national Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. An Unforgettable visual experience of the Holocaust. I'm just thankful I wasn't born in that time or I would have been in one of those concentration camps, because of my sexuality. ✡ 🏳️🌈 ❤
..it's still happening in some middle eastern countries....
why is it horrific ?
@@itsMe_TheHerpes why wouldn’t it be? Thousands of people were killed during this time
There's a French film that deals with much the same subject, in this case, Nazi persecution of gay men in occupied France. It can be viewed under the title "A Love to Hide," although it may not stay up too much longer, so view it soon if you're interested. But there are some scenes that are extremely difficult to watch, so be prepared.
A love to hide is much sadder
An absolutely remarkable film in every way imaginable. It literally brought tears to my eyes.
The attention to detail evokes the era meticulously and with that all the evil it represented. What an incredible achievement!
Omg, the quality of this short film is stunning and you know I would've watched it as a full-length movie. So beautiful and you guys are so talented.
Extremely powerful, well acted and beautifully produced short film. It's tragic that this is still going on in some parts of the world. A big well done to all involved. Hoping to shed further light on a difficult chapter in gay history with my own short screenplay The Pardon recently award Finalist status at The TeaDance Film Festival in North Carolina. A big hooray for films like "Pink Triangle" as they are greatly needed!
I am so sad. This really makes me cry. Because it's real. It's so real. And we must never forget.
@Ryan Davis, this movie was very ispirational. It showed why and how the Pink Triangle was made. It showed also the pain that we have endured throughout the decades, even in the U. S., to get to where we are today. My hope is that one day the younger crowd will watch this movie and understand it much better instead of saying that it has evolved to mean something else. Thank you so very much for doing this movie. I look forward to seeing more like this from you.
So powerful, heartbreaking and professional. This is beautiful film about a horrific subject. The photography, settings and lighting are stunningly good. The lead character actor manages to convey so much emotion without speaking. Awesome. As you know; we must never forget those who suffered for our liberty. Thank you.
Outstanding short film. It captured the grueling horrors that happened to real people, but also managed to capture the beauty of intimacy and emotion. Absolutely incredible.
Profound. I visited the Homomonument in Amsterdam and thought it looked tacky but I had no idea of its historical significance until I saw this. Well done.
Neither you not many people. Most young gays now think gay pride is a party to have a lot of fun and a lot of sex
Wow! It is beautiful film. Intense, riveting and chilling!! well crafted film. the lead actor is great!! You can feel the pain and hatred in his eyes!
We as people will never tolerate the injustice, oppression and discrimination against humanity. Never again we will let the history repeats itself.
it has and it will again, just look and see the men running different countries around the world. I will pray that it will not happen again, but we will always have to be on guard. I also enjoyed this short film.
Calc571 - And yet it is happening again. Violence, hatred, racism - it’s as if we never learn.
@@ymiinar4014 Absolutely Right ! Now we have to endure Trumpism !
Love is Love, only Evil People Try to Hurt others cause of who they Love
I saw the Broadway play "Bent" starring a very young Richard Gere. It later became a move...same storyline.
An Oscar contender for a Short film.
Powerful!!!!.
Congrats to the Actors and Film makers .
Gilbert from New York City
Very good for a university project. I recommend the movie "Bent" 1997 depicting 1930s gay life in Berlin and their treatment under the Nazi regime. Nearly 100years on and there are still so many countries that regard homosexuality as a crime punishable by imprisonment and death. We still have a long way to go.
"Bent" is a very good film. I discovered it while visiting the Holocaust museum in DC, which is where I first learned of the pink triangle. It was this trip that inspired this short film. Thank you for watching.
such a good film that is. one of my all time faves.
Thank you for this movie. It was amazing. As a writer/author I so appreciate a script well acted. I guess the true sign of a great story like this one is that it made me sad, cause me to experience the anger and pain, but most of all, it evoked a deep-seated rage towards those who did those things. This short movie was hard to watch, for all the right reasons.
This is what movies should appear like on the big screens! This was awesome, EVERYTHING WAS GREAT I LOVE IT!
So heartbreaking to know that this is an actual film based on facts. Never have I ever known about this real darkness that transpired during that timeframe. I knew am evil existed, but not of that magnatitude.
Very well propped and acted all the way around. I applaud all of you who participated and may your futures provide many more outstanding performances like the one I just witnessed.
My heart is filled with pain and so is my eyes filled with tears...
Thank for making this great film
This is the work of a film school? I hold out much hope for all involved - screenplay, directing and editing, lighting, sound, music, costumes, oh and the actors. Very very impressive.
Ryan Jeffrey Davis, I doff my hat to you and your whole team!...what a beautifully poignant and heart wrenching film you guys have made.......def one of the best short films ever......love the emphasis on images over dialogues.....the lead actor---OMG, what eloquent, expressive eyes he has got.....nothing betrays through his eyes.....specially loved the portion where the lead actor returns to his former paramour's empty, rummaged house and reminisces the past....what intelligent editing there......overall such a brilliant film....def deserves a full length feature....keep up the excellent work:)
Wow, just wow! It's shocking what people had/have to go through just because of who they love, it's truly sickening! 😢
Came across this because it was filmed in Salisbury NC. Not a bad piece of work! Turns out Kevin L. Johnson went on to do some decent stuff. Pretty cool!
Holy hell Batman, this was phenomenal!! And this is a student film? This is far better than some other professionally directed short films. Very little was said, and yet everything was conveyed through the actor's expressions or the music. Fantastic job on both!
Heartbreaking! Heartbreaking... that we as human beings had to live through such a 'thing'. But live we did... and yet, now with the memories of 'then.' The pain evoked by this work of art was so great I had to stop watching it at about 12 minutes in. When my heart stops palpating, I may give it another shot. I'm a double Cancer (zodiacal thing). Blessings, Moi
Looking for something to share on my North Carolina Blog about the School of the Arts and found this remarkable short film. Particularly appropriate, unfortunately, due to recent events in Russia. Only able to use the trailer due to length of film.
Superbly done and hats off to all involved and for the music as well.
Incredible! You guys did a wonderful job. This brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you for watching the film. Your words mean so much to me.
Daniel Dahlman Thank you for the kind words!!
im sorry is that the blonde guy actually died???
Ryan Jeffrey Davis I think this is a great short film and would make a great full length movie if he can get the funding
Every shot just looks incredible!
Scrupulous, dramatic and gripping period piece! One of the first films I have seen about the Holocaust on LGBT people in Nazi Germany. Tragic tale on having to destroy someone you love in the name of loyalty to a tyrannical government. This film raises the question: will you choose love or duty? My heart breaks over the many people like Harmon and his lover who were savagely persecuted and killed all because of their love for each other. It is shameful and despicable homophobic hatred and discrimination of this nature exists. The time for this really has to end. I was glad to see Harmon kill that snake and reunite with his lover in the end. To any LGBT survivors of the Holocaust alive today, my prayers and best wishes go out to them. No person should ever endure such cruelty.
***** Thank you for the clarification.
Outstanding short film by North Carolina's School of Film Making. Society must never allow this to happen again to the LGBTQ community.
Saw this film three years ago and it still impacts me in much the same way.
It Happens right how. In other coutries.
Who is this blond guy? he's so handsome
Davis Harper. Listed in the end credits.
I don't know who's the blonde guy but he's so fucking handsome :o Great short film, intriguing, I'd like to see more :)
I liked the dark guy better, an absolute angel, one of God’s masterpieces
Luc Borthayre
That’s kinda gay, bro!
Danlore arent we all
just yassu
Nope, and thank god for that.
They are both beautiful men and beggars can't be choosey I dated a young man well we lovers for about 2 years his mother was a young German girl who married a G I he was very handsome but died of an overdose after we broke up it was never meant to be I'm gay and he was bisexual men I'm telling you now leave those bisexual men alone they will only break your heart
This made me cry... I’m getting a pink triangle tattoo in a few years, in memory of the ones who were forced to wear it in shame. This time however, it’ll be worn in pride.
Get a yellow 🌟 on you're forehead as well just so it's recognisable lol....
No need to reactivate Nazi symbolism.
Itd be a good idea for young people to get this and know what it stands for
If love between two people invokes hatred, that only means that this world is fucked up big time
The PRODUCTION!!! amazing! It's like a clip from a blockbuster movie that was cut and posted on youtube. Great work!
Outstanding short film. It captured the grueling horrors that happened to real people, but also managed to capture the beauty of intimacy and the art of human emotion.
Tremendous work! Very professional. Strong production values from beginning to end - script, cinematography, sound, lights, score, editing - and powerful acting. This is head and shoulders above most short films. Congratulations.
This was filmed where I live. I recognize most of these places. I don't think that I will ever think of these locations in the same way again.
Things like this make me so proud to be an NCSA alumni. I’ll never forget all the great screenings I went to even though I was in a different discipline. Go Pickles !
This is an excellent piece of film. We can never forget. Just yesterday the current Fascist regime decreed it was OK for adoption agencies to prevent the adoption of orphaned children to LGBT couples. This is a must see film. Great cinematography, lighting and actors. Thank-you.
Thank you for this important little film. My only difficulty is in understanding the very end. It did not seem clear to me.
Wow. What a powerful short film! I hope to see more thing like this from those who made this.
I got a little confused around 7:21 Was the main character remembering the incident? Did the main character try to change his hair color to be more blond and that's why he cut it all off? The actors did such an amazing job portraying so much with just a glance. Really good short film. Very sad.
Thank you so much for posting this powerful video. We must never forget the history of struggles to be free to live as we choose, love who we choose!
I have to say, I almost cried during this.
So interesting that certain phenotypes are identifiable with particular geographical regions. The blond guy's eyes are Southern and I have met many boys/men with those eyes here in the Blue Ridge and in Richmond. Another phenotype that is recognizable is the boy in REM's video for "It's the End of the World"
This is called casting. They apply known stereotypes to fullfill your expectations.
Must be me but this made me wanting shout and cry but I could not as if I was paralyzed and numbed.
My heart is still jumping..... so powerfull to Watch
I was so grateful when I was in high school to meet a a man maned Alex that was a gay holocaust survivor. He came to seek to out history class that was the first time that I the pink Triangle that was tattooed on someones body. He told his story of how he was imprisoned in the concentration camp and everyday he thought he was going to die and he said it was like a living hell he said he was lucky that he survived it all I remember sitting there in tears in class you could hear a pin drop in the class .this is a wonderful short film it brought back a flood of memories Jon c Douglasville Ga
I am speechless I'm going to have to watch it again tomorrow.
Ryan Jeffrey Davis: Quite a gem of a film. Chilling to the bone, and a horrible reminder of the bestiality of the Nazis.
Heartrending - tough call to watch - as it should be
Excellent film.Hope to see full length version in the future.
that was amazing, well done.
I really hope it would turn out to a full movie.
the plot, suspences and resolution delighted my heart strongly...thank you man I really enjoyed it.
"I'll give you a name. His name is......Trump. Donald Trump. Now leave me alone...ahhhhh."
Well that was heart wrenching.
Nice production = with some patchy moments. And that would be 'Dieter' !
I didn't understand the ending of the film((( What has happened and how could he stay alive after killing the colonel???
I got lost there as well....
I thought that killing the colonel was just a fantasy... He didn't really kill him, in reality he was waiting for the other gay man to arrest him. He didn't want to do that, he wanted to kill the colonel and live as a gay man, but he was afraid so he did what he had to do to live. At least that's how I interpreted the scene.
@@georgestavroulakis6347 Thank you. I watched this again today after several years and still couldn't figure out the ending. That gunshot would have been heard immediately and consequences would probably would have had the guy shot at once.
I just broke down in tears.
The movie “a love to hide” is such a sad movie
I can't watch it again, because of one scene. I can take most things but not that.
Stunningly presented! Bravo!
This was nicely done and I especially love the score! Do you have any information you can share about the person who did the music?
Hey JD. Just came across this but thank you for your kind words. I was lucky to be a part of such a great film and am very proud of the score. It was truly a labor of love.
@@1stEarlOfSurrey : Half-Witticism from a Half-Wit TROLL..
This film showed so much intense love and passion, I was quite shocked, as you very rarely come across this intensity in real life, never mind in a movie. I am what you might call gifted, not as these brilliant gifted actors, but on the mechanics of the human male. The intensity shown in this movie, can only originate in one area, and I'm afraid that I'm going to disappoint over half of the human race, because it is not in the heart, as that is the lifelong auto pump, it just pumps. It is what is nearby to the heart, and in the lower abdomen, where the male real passion lies. It can be so intense, that even a male actor, will not be acting the part any more, because he is actually living the part.
Just five minutes with any male, gay or straight, of any age, and I would prove to them, what every male has hidden away inside them, it is the secret what females are always trying to find out about us males. But alas, even when told the working system, their minds are not wired to comprehend these technical wonders.
Ludwig II of Bavaria, his Schloss Neuschwanstein, was built by males, on a rock, in a very hostile environment, when I see this beautiful structure, I see men, and their own Eternal Boy Within. It is the latter which really puts the icing on any cake, whether acting, or building castles, Cheers to our Eternal Boy Within.
would like to see full length movie with same actor in lead.
Yes, Esteben Estrada Never forget those Beautiful and Innocent Brothers and Sisters that did not have a chance! I still remember the night I learned about The Pink Triangle!!! I was about 19-20 Will "The Pink Triangles" every be thought of as Human? Well, No one will take away my hopes,prayers or capacity to Respect and Love! xoxoxoxox
the more some things have changed for the good, the more the darkness in some people's hearts has stayed the same or grown even more vile. cherish the rights we almost take for granted and remember those who have gone before us and suffered for being like us. was 1933 Germany so different from the hatred various groups feel in America today?
A powerful short film. This could be the US in 2, 4, 6 years from now? Frightening.
Couldn‘t watch it til end. It‘s just too painful. How many lives have been destroied by this sensless crazyness. And still… how about today? There are still places like this. God created us all so let the all sentient beings just live ❤❤❤❤
Much more interesting than the usual gay short. Pity that no one caught that on the note the name Dieter was misspelled Deiter.
goddaymmmmm the blonde dude👌👌👌
oliver _ I know right
DAMN the kiss was so intimate, I almost want to look for someone lmao. But the story is sad. Good one tho
Another amazing exquisite piece!!!
Such a great reminder of the past; we need to be reminded more often of the past especially now with Trump as President. The Muslims were the first to be attacked by Trump which group will be next? The movie reminded me of what it was like years ago growing up gay. I hope the current young gay men don't forget the past and stay strong and united. God Bless you.
Really? When did Pres Trump ever say, or do, anything anti-gay? You need to get over this paranoia and hysteria; it isn't good for you. Just live and love and as you need to.
Uh, Tat Wolfen, his Vice-President proposed notorious anti-LGBT legislation that lets people discriminate based on religious grounds and Trump is looking to do the same nation-wide, his Secretary of Education pick donated to conversion-therapy groups, his pick for attorney general has voted against every pro-LGBT measure and has a 0 rating from HRC... so yes he's done a lot of anti-gay stuff.
+Tat Wolfen ---The problem is he never says anything but does things indirectly and with the rise of his alternative facts she hides.
Mexicans were the first ones to be attacked by Trump.
your right buddy,in fact he was one of the first to support gays after the shooting that took place in florida and i'm happy to have a president that cares for my rights
Should be longer. Good job
This Ryan Jeffrey Davis is very talented. Pero el actor "Harmon" es muy "pogi."
That is much appreciated. And I'll pass that along to the actor!
YO. YO. YO. YO. 13/10 this is PHENOMENAL.
OMG very strong movie, full of emotions 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
NOW LOOK AT THE ZOO WE LIVE IN NOW. WAS THEIR WAY SOO BAD?
and to think how gay people are treated now,I'd say it is a lot better now, but the homophobia will never end.
Acting, writing, production values - everything - just excellent. Some people are ready for the big time. Question is: Is Big Time ready for you? I know I am. Really welldone - if that's not too much of an understatement. Hard to believe that the same country that produced Donald Trump also produced this. Maybe there's hope after all. Much thanks .... if only for that alone.
I LOVE RUclips.
Because it makes things like this available.
God bless.
How strange my name is Ryan Jeffrey too. Different last name though. 👏 Well done!
This needs more views!!!
this is so well made oh my god
They wouldn't be regular army officers who would've arrested them. The army wasn't allowed to be members of the party. It would've been the brownshirts and maybe later the SS that rounded people up. Not regular army.
Extraordinary shortfilm...
Thank you for this movie!
Beautiful movie
So powerful.
Beautifully done film. Thank you.
I loved this. But I didn't understand the ending. Was that the German officer's son?
