from Part I - History
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 May 2025
Focusing on the Federal Republic of Germany, this chapter explores the often hidden history of the lasting impact of Nazi racial violence on non-Jewish victims. It analyzes the forces and structures that continued to discriminate against homosexuals, survivors of sterilization, Roma, “asocials,” and others. Many of these groups were initially excluded from reparations programs for survivors and, in some cases, were subjected to ongoing legal discrimination. Over time, this began to shift, largely in response to pressure from survivor activists from among these groups, who fought hard to establish their status as recognized victims of the Nazi regime.
