Pierre Seel, R.I.P.

I generally don't read the obituaries but this caught my eye:

Pierre Seel, 82, who was imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II for homosexuality and later broke decades of silence to speak out about the horrors he endured, died of cancer Nov. 25 at his home in Toulouse, France.

Arrested on suspicion of being a homosexual, Mr. Seel served six months in a prison camp before he was released and drafted into the German army. After the war, he married and had a family and revealed nothing of his ordeal.

When a French bishop railed against homosexuals in the 1980s, Mr. Seel reasserted his identity as a gay man and wrote a searing autobiography as one of the few surviving victims of a little-known chapter of German wartime atrocities.

As always, read the entire thing.

M. Seel lived to tell of the horrible abuses suffered by not only Jews and Gypsies, but homosexuals at the hands of the Nazi's. The current treatment of them by Islamofascists is akin to what M. Seel suffered and that is reason #432,368 that they must be eradicated.
