bali ha'i
homosexual concentration camp prisoners were not acknowledged as victims of nazi persecution. reparations and state pensions available to other groups were refused to gay men, who were still classified as criminals — the 1935 version of paragraph 175 remained in force in west germany until 1969 when the "bundestag" voted to return to the pre-1935 version. the german historian detlev peukert wrote "no homosexuals obtained reparations after 1945" and only a brave "few" even tried because the 1935 version of paragraph 175 stayed in effect until 1969, and that despite the way that homosexual survivors had suffered "profound damage to their lives" that they remained outcasts in post-war germany. peukert used the fact that the nazi version of paragraph 175 stayed on the statue books until 1969 because it was a "healthy law" as chancellor adenauer called it in 1962 and the complete refusal of the german state to pay compensation to gay survivors to argue that nazi germany was not some "freakish aberration" from the norms of the west, and the nazi campaign against homosexuals should be considered part of a broader homophobic campaign throughout the world. in 1960, hans zauner, the mayor of dachau, told a british journalist llew gardner writing for "the sunday express" that the nazi campaign against homosexuals and "asocials" was justified, saying: "you must remember that many criminals and homosexuals were in dachau. do you want a memorial for such people?". on 12 may 1969, when "der spiegel", germany's most popular magazine, ran an editorial saying it was "scandalous" that the 1935 version of paragraph 175 was still in effect and called for repealing paragraph 175 completely, it attracted much controversy. in 1981, it was discovered that many west german police forces still kept lists of known homosexuals included significantly under the category "asocials". paragraph 175 was not repealed until 1994, although both east and west germany liberalized their laws against adult homosexuality in the late 1960s.
