Nazi Germany not only devised the pink triangle symbol and killed thousands of gay men but also decimated that era's world center of gay life. A half century later, that news seemingly has yet to reach most of America.

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., hopes to change that with "The Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals 1933-1945." So far, seven U.S. cities have signed on to display over the next two years the reproductions of 250 photographs and documents that explain the persecution of German gay life during the Nazi regime.

"Berlin had been the base of the world's gay rights movement--there were more lesbian bars in Berlin before Hitler than there are now," says James Lichti of the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, host of the exhibition through July 11. "The Nazis viewed homosexuality as a sickness linked to a Jewish plot to weaken Aryan men."
