Pink Triangle Legacies: Holocaust History and the Fight for LGBTQ+ Rights

Presented by Dr. Jake Desai-Newsome
Founder and Director of the Pink Triangle Legacies Project

Join us as historian Dr. Jake Desai-Newsome tells the dynamic and inspiring history of the LGBTQ+ community’s original pride symbol by tracing the transformation of the pink triangle from a Nazi concentration camp badge into a widespread emblem of queer liberation, pride, and community.

Drawing from unexplored archival sources and original interviews, Dr. Desai-Newsome showcases the voices of LGBTQ+ Holocaust victims and the many LGBTQ+ folks who found meaning in the pink triangle in a post-Holocaust world. The presentation will be followed by Q&A and a book signing for those joining us in person at the Capital Jewish Museum.
