When the Nazis came to power in Europe, the lives of homosexuals came to be ruled by fear as raids, arrests, prison sentences and expulsions became the daily reality. When the concentration camps were built, homosexuals were imprisoned along with Jews. The pink triangle, sewn onto prison uniforms, became the symbol of their persecution. Branded by the Pink Triangle combines historical research with first-person accounts and individual stories to bring this history to life for readers. From the first chapter, with its story of a young Jewish girl who was rescued from the depths of despair and starvation in the camps by a fellow prisoner who wore the pink triangle, to the last, entitled It Gets Better, which outlines the strides forward in gay rights made in the decades since the war, the feeling of bravery and perseverance in the face of inhuman cruelty shines through.

Reviews
โSetteringtonโs slim book, which should be in schools, synagogues and human rights museums everywhere, speaks volumes about a time that few LGBT youths today, contemplating who to take to the prom or the parade, would have knowledge about.โ โ Toronto Star
โAn impassioned and cogent history of the persecution of gay men during the Holocaust.โฆ a remarkably informative and necessary work.โ โ Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
โTelling the stories of the men who faced this persecution, the long road back to acceptance, and the story of the pink triangle, "Branded by the Pink Triangle" is a strong addition to gay studies and history collections, as well as Holocaust studies collections.โ โ The Midwest Book Review
โBy weaving the individual experiences into a broader account of the treatment and persecution of homosexuals by the Nazi regime, the author provides a compelling and evocative narrative.โฆ Period photographs, a lengthy time line, and an extensive bibliography round out the strengths of this thoughtful, informative work.โ โ School Library Journal
