Synopsis
A firsthand account of the Nazi round-up and deportation of homosexuals. As a young man in France, Pierre Seel was rounded-up by the occupying Germans for appearing on a list of accused homosexuals, shipped to an internment camp where he was forced to watch the Nazis execute his lover, then "liberated" to serve on the Eastern Front as cannon fodder for the Germans. He survived the war but was forced to deny and reinvent the horrors of his past to keep a cover on his homosexuality.

Review
"For nearly 40 years (Pierre Seel) kept his experiences secret in order to hide his homosexuality but ultimately, haunted by the past and the silence of others, decided to speak out, bearing witness to all aspects of the holocaust rarely seen."
