Pink Triangle Park and Memorial

Visiting the Pink Triangle Park and Memorial in San Francisco was a very nice experience.  The Pink Triangle Memorial was made in remembrance of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender victims of the Nazi regime(1933-1945). Although the memorial itself is pretty small it has a lot of meaning. When you walk up to the memorial there is a little trail that leads you through a triangle on the ground that is filled with little pink stones. Around the memorial there is also around 20 or so triangle shaped pillars that are pink at the top. After a little research about the Pink triangle I found out that the men in the concentration camps had to actually wear a pink triangle badge on them because of their homosexuality. In the years 1933-1945 there were between 50,000 and 63,000 men convicted for homosexuality. This is really sad that all this happened, and I think it is very important to learn about these past events.
