World War II had just ended and pictures of concentration camps were beginning to circulate. People were justifiably horrified by the numbers who had been killed and the pictures of the emaciated inmates.

There were rumors that some people in charge of the allied countries, even the pope, had known what was going on, and this caused further outrage.

“Never Again” became the theme of those who were horrified by the actual holocaust and the rumors surrounding the behind the scenes machinations.

“Never Again” became the theme of monuments and museums, and in the initial years there was a strong, but somewhat selective application of the phrase.

Gay men who had been imprisoned and who had worked in the camps, many eventually dying from the experience, were left out of the story. Unlike the others, surviving Gay men were not released because  of the rationalization that they had not been arrested for the same reason as the Jews, but, rather, because they had violated Nazi Germany’s Law 175 that made Homosexuality a crime, and in spite of what they suffered in the camps, still needed to do prison time for that crime. The same people who had made being Jewish a crime against the state had done the same with Homosexuals, but when the war ended one law was condemned, while the other accepted.

The Gay inmates from the concentration camp were made to stay behind and clean up the very camps they had been held in, and unlike all other survivors were not compensated until many years later after a long battle, and it was a fight to have Gay victims included in museums and on memorials.

They too had suffered, but they were simply and easily ignored.

Never Again?

Just as then, news of Gay men facing arrest, torture, killings, and concentration camps is coming out, but these things are being ignored. The truth is uncomfortable.

Novaya Gazeta had originally reported that Gay men are being held in two jails in the villages of Argun and Tsotsi-Yurt in the Chechnyan region of Russia.

However, evidence of a further four prisons has been uncovered bringing the number to at least six prisons in the region.

Novaya Gazeta also claims that the men are only released once their families offer bribes to police.

Some who have been released have shown signs of torture and beatings.

Some were only released because they were dead.

The paper detailed a meeting of over 15,000 people headed by Ramzan Kadyrov, Chechnya’s leader, at which the paper was condemned for its reporting on this.

Sir Alan Duncan,  Great Britain’s Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, told parliament:

“Human rights groups report that these anti-gay campaigns and killings are orchestrated by the head of the Chechen republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. He has carried out other violent campaigns in the past, and this time he is directing his efforts at the LGBT community. Sources have said that he wants the [LGBT] community eliminated by the start of Ramadan. Such comments, attitudes and actions are absolutely beyond contemptible.”

Sir Duncan has also verified that President Kadyrov had made the threat in local Russian language media which was seen by the UK government.

The United Nations’ High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for the Kremlin to investigate.

However a spokesperson for Vladimir Putin has said the Russian president has no reason to believe the attacks are genuine, but this is based solely on Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov’s telling him not to believe the “provocative” articles which he described as a “massive information attack using the most unworthy methods, reality is distorted, attempts are being made to blacken our society, lifestyle, traditions and customs.”

What is supposed to happen “Never Again” began with indifference toward what people were hearing was happening to a particular group of people who were different. Since it was not “us” just “them” it was just accepted, and people chose to deny it was happening until that could no longer be done.

That’s how this is starting.

Six prison camps for people only because they are Gay is Six too many. One would be too many.

This is something the United States, headed by a president who said,

“As your President, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology”

needs to get in front of.

Gay Americans travel.

We say “Never Again”.

Do we mean it?
