Berlin Persecuted Homosexuals Memorial (#2125)

The "Memorial to the Homosexuals Persecuted under the National Socialist [Nazi] Regime". The memorial is designed to be similar in character to the memorial to the murdered Jews, with a single large concrete block. The memorial has a window on one side and if you look in there is a continuously running film of two men kissing (to be later replaced with a film of two women kissing).

Unfortunately, there was a high school group being shown the memorial when I was there and, like every time I encountered high school groups at Holocaust or Nazi sites, too many of the students acted like what you'd expect of teenagers -- giggling, not interested in history, and not leaving room for others to view the site.
