Summary/Abstract: The Men with the Pink Triangle shows that sexuality is an indispensable ingredient of power. Heinz Heger’s narrative gives an opportunity to depict the relation between masters and subordinates which still contributes to social identities formation. Moreover, Heger’s memories above all else enable us to recognize still valid, and getting stronger, homophobic strategies stemming not only from actions but also from language known as hate speech. Additionally, Heinz Heger’s book confirms the necessity of rereading holocaust literature within new interpretative paradigm.
