Heroes of the Resistance: The Pink Triangle & Gad Beck

Because homosexuality remained criminalised after the Nazis were defeated, many of the stories of LGBT persecution and LGBT resistance went undocumented, it's victims and heroes were at risk of prosecution if outed as gay.

Gad Beck's story of resistance is one exception to that secrecy. Gad,  was both Jewish and gay, and therefore was thoroughly stigmatised by Nazi law, but nonetheless found ways to resist.

Josh Bradlow, Head of Policy at Stonewall, told us how Gad found his identity in resistance to the Nazis and how he would continue that tradition for the rest of his life.
