Tel Aviv memorialises gay Holocaust victims

A memorial honouring gays and lesbians murdered by the Nazis was unveiled in a Tel Aviv park on Friday, the first specific recognition in Israel for non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The concrete, triangle-shaped plaque details the plight of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people under Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. It resembles the pink triangles Nazis forced gays to wear in concentration camps during World War II and states in English, Hebrew and German: "In memory of those persecuted by the Nazi regime for their sexual orientation and gender identity."

U parku  u Tel Avivu u petak  je otkriven memorijal  posvećen homoseksualcima i lezbijkama koji su bili ubijeni od nacista. To je u Izraelu prvo specifično priznavanje žrtvama Holokausta koji nisu Židovi. Ploča u obliku trokuta prikazuje patnju lezbijki, gayeva, biseksualaca i transgenskih ljudi pod Hitlerovim Trećim Reichom. To podsjeća na ružičaste trokute koje su morali nositi u koncntracijskim logorima u vrijeme II. Svjetskog rata.

Napisano je na engleskom, hebrejskom i njemačkom jeziku:"  Na sjećanje na one koji su bili proganjani od nacističkog režima zbog svoje seksualne orijentacije i spolnog identiteta".

"I think in Israel today it is very important to show that a human being is a human being is a human being," Mayor Ron Huldai said at the dedication ceremony, where a rainbow flag waved alongside Israel's blue-and-white flag. "It shows that we are not only caring for ourselves but for everybody who suffered. These are our values — to see everyone as a human being."
