The Pink Triangle: Gay Life During and After the Holocaust 3:00PM CentralFollowing the Nazi takeover of Germany in 1933, some 100,000 men were arrested for the crime of homosexuality as established under paragraph 175 of the German Criminal Code. Thousands of these men were sent to prison, and as many as 15,000 were sent to Nazi concentration camps, where more than 60% were killed. Following the War, gay survivors of the Holocaust were still considered criminals. This special program examines this history and explores its lasting effects on gay and Jewish life into the present.

Before World War II, Abe and Sonia Huberman were two soulmates
happily married and in love, living a peaceful life with their family in
Warsaw, Poland. But while Abe was away, on a short business trip to
America, World War II broke out and the Nazis invaded. Abe was stranded
far from home, while Sonia was left alone with their two young children
to face the Nazis. This is the story of her bravery, of Sonia’s survival
of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and Nazi death camps, including the
notorious Auschwitz. What was supposed to be a separation of seven weeks
turned into one of seven years. This is the story of their love, of
soulmates reunited against all odds. Learn about history through the
lens of this inspirational account that serves as a powerful reminder of
the resilience of the human spirit.

Description:
In honor of UN Holocaust Remembrance Day,
Hilary Helstein, director of the award-winning documentary “As Seen
Through These Eyes” speaks with Rachel Stern, director and CEO of the
Fritz Ascher Society New York, about the making of her documentary.
As poet Maya Angelou narrates this powerful
documentary, she reveals the story of a brave group of people who
fought Hitler with the only weapons they had: charcoal, pencil stubs,
shreds of paper and memories etched in their minds. These artists took
their fate into their own hands to make a compelling statement about the
human spirit, enduring against unimaginable odds. Featuring interviews
with Simon Wiesenthal as he talks about his art, never before appearing
in a film, the children of Theresienstadt, Dina Babbitt, personal artist
to Dr. Mengele, and Gypsy artist, Karl Stojka. Score features music by
Sony/BMG’s Anna Nalick and Lorin Sklamberg of The Klezmatics.
This event is dedicated to the memory of Fred Terna (1923-2022), who died on 9 December 2022, at the age of 99 years.
Register here.
Fred Terna (1923-2022) was born in
1923 in Vienna. His family returned to Prague, their hometown, soon
thereafter. He lived and attended school there until the Germans
occupied the city in 1939. Beginning in October 1941, Mr. Terna was
interned in a number of camps, including Terezin, Auschwitz-Birkenau,
and Kaufering, a sub-camp of Dachau. He was liberated near Landsberg in
Bavaria on April 27, 1945. He was the only remaining member of his
family. After liberation, Mr. Terna was hospitalized in Bavaria for a
few months, then sent back to Prague for further recuperation. He left
Prague late in 1946, settling in Paris for several years. In 1952, he
arrived in New York. As an artist and painter, Terna used folded canvas,
sand, and pebbles, seeking to address the psychological space of
trauma, often incorporating the charged symbols of chimneys and ash to
abstract effect. He served as president of the Jewish Visual Artists
Association from 1978-1981. Besides speaking about his wartime
experiences, he lectured extensively on the history of Jewish art, and
taught a course on the subject for some years at the New School in New
York.
This event is organized by the Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art, in partnership with Austrian Consulate General Los Angeles, the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany New York, Classrooms Without Borders, Descendants of Holocaust Survivors, Goethe Institut New York, German Film Office, the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, Mensch International Foundation, 3G New York – Descendants of Holocaust Survivors and the Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival.
