Come watch PARAGRAPH 175: In this documentary film, historian Klaus Müller interviews survivors of the Nazi persecution of gay men, many of whom were interred in concentration camps during World War II because of the German Penal Code of 1871, Paragraph 175. "Their moving testimonies, rendered with evocative images of their lives and times, tell a haunting, compelling story of human resilience in the face of unspeakable cruelty. Intimate in its portrayals, sweeping in its implications, Paragraph 175 raises provocative questions about memory, history, and identity." Today 4:10 pm in Keck Classroom (81 minutes).  Sponsored by OUTfront
