For National Gay Pride Month USC Shoah Foundation is featuring a testimony clip every week in June of eyewitnesses to the Nazi persecution of Gay men in the Holocaust. Thanks to the quick response of a homosexual prisoner at the Oranienburg-Heinkelwerke labor camp (a sub-camp of Sachsenhausen), Douglas Fox escaped from a line of transferred prisoners who were unknowingly being given a lethal injection upon their arrival. To learn more and explore the stories of other eyewitnesses to the Holocaust and other genocides, visit sfi.usc.edu Copyright USC Shoah Foundation – The Institute for Visual History and Education.
