Holocaust memorial
Posted by manufatura@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 13 comments
Hello! I went to budapest before the pandemic and I remember visiting the tree of life next to a synagogue.
There was also a memorial with the symbols of everyone one that was persecuted except the homosexual pink triangle, because homosexuality was not accepted. There was later a proposal to add the triangle to it but the lgbt community refused because they wanted the homophobia to be remembered
Now, I looked online for this story but I didn't find it, or the memorial in question. Does anyone have any pictures or can corroborate the story, or tell me if I'm wrong?

Idk i just want to check and see if it's true. I believe i read about it in the monument but my memory could be wrong. I expected people that visited the monument recently to confirm for me tbh

yep, I'll try to do my best) and I'll update you here)
If I understand correctly, you are looking for a story about people executed, but not mentioned due to them being homosexual, thus marked with a pink triangle? or can you give a tiiiny bit of detail on the story itself?

I'm looking for a monument that includes the symbols of all holocaust victims (red triangles for communists, stars of david for jews, etc) except for the pink triangles for the homossexuals

I've never heard of "the tree of life" before, but googling gives this: https://www.kozterkep.hu/38719/az-elet-faja
I can't comment on the other part of your question.
