Homosexual: a person sexually attracted to people of one's own sex. The homosexuals during the Holocaust were treated like they were only there to annoy you. These homosexuals were the outcasts of all the concentration camps in Germany. During the twelve years of Nazi rule, almost 50,000 gays were convicted of the crime homosexuality. Most of these gays were sent to the concentration camps, at least 500,000 homosexuals were killed in the Holocaust. Many of the German believed that homosexuality is a horrible crime to commit. After the people were proved that they were gay, they automatically meant that they were to be sent to concentration camps. When they got to the concentration camps the homosexuals could only talk to themselves, had to sleep with the lights on and they had to keep their hands above the covers at all times. Also, the Germans thought that torturing these homosexuals should be a professional sport. The director of one of the concentration camps, Flossenburg always ordered the gays to be flogged, and when they were in the most pain of their lives, the director was having himself a nice little laugh. The gays were treated horribly, they had to shovel snow with their bare hands, they were also used as living targets at the firing range so the other people who were training could get the actual experience of killing a real person. They also had the absolute dirtiest job of all time.
