Description
This article discusses the particularly viscious attacks by Germans against Jewish men and women as well as homosexuals. It includes physical and sexual abuse and cruelty. The Nazi regime tried to show Germans as heroic, pure and self-sacrificing, whereas the reality included evil acts perpetrated out of hatred, power and even for sadistic pleasure.
