Oni. Homoseksualiści w czasie II wojny światowej

In Poland, men convicted under Paragraph 175 between 1933 and 1945 were long remembered, if at all, as a few German prisoners who preyed on others. Strangers, predators and very few: for these reasons their history was not studied, and survivors were not treated as victims of the Nazi system. The book traces homosexual men arrested and held in Rawicz, Wronki or Tarnów, sent to Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, Mauthausen, Gross-Rosen, Auschwitz and Majdanek, killed in penal units or returning home, and assembles their broken biographies into a chorus against decades of silence.
