Join us for an exploration of LGBTQ+ history to establish context for understanding challenges in the present. We’ll identify the top 10 key lessons for understanding the Nazi persecution of LGBTQ+ people and its relevance for today. Attendees will also be equipped with action items that will help them confront homophobia and transphobia in their own communities.
This virtual Lunch and Learn program is presented in partnership with the Holocaust Center for Humanity and the Pink Triangle Legacies Project.
