The Pink Triangle Jew - A Holocaust-Drama like none other…

About the film:

Germany in the winter season of 1937/38. Young Jewish Paul Seliger is arrested on grounds of homosexual conduct and deported to a concentration camp. At the same time Obersturmbannführer Richard Eiser is charged with the command of the very same camp. He moves with his wife Greta and his two little daughters Luiserl and Mariechen into a villa situated on a hill overlooking the camp. Harboring secret homosexual desires of his own, Richard eventually falls in love with Paul, desperately trying to conceal the “affair” from the homophobic SS-leadership and his own family. He succeeds in rescuing Paul from the inhuman medical experiments in the camp and hides him in the attic of his villa. But when Richard’s daughter Luiserl accidentally walks in on the two of them disastrous consequences threaten.
