Facts and practical information

The Memorial to Homosexuals Persecuted Under Nazism is a poignant monument located in Berlin, Germany, dedicated to the memory of the gay community who suffered at the hands of the Nazi regime. Established in 2008, this important site serves as a somber reminder of the injustices faced by homosexuals during this dark chapter in history.

Situated in the Tiergarten park, near the Reichstag and the Holocaust Memorial, the monument is both a place of remembrance and a symbol of the ongoing struggle against discrimination and intolerance. The memorial consists of a concrete slab with a window through which visitors can view a video that alternates showing different same-sex couples kissing. This powerful visual statement is a tribute to love and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

The monument's design, which is intentionally understated, encourages reflection on the past atrocities while also promoting awareness and understanding. It is a place where people can come together to pay their respects and contemplate the impact of prejudice and persecution.
