 TRIANGLE PARK & MEMORIAL\n\nThe Pink Triangle Park is the first permanent, 
 free-standing memorial in the United States dedicated to the persecuted and 
 murdered homosexuals during the Nazi era. The park and monument was 
 conceived and built by the Eureka Valley Neighborhood Association (EVNA), a 
 neighborhood association for the Castro, Upper Market and Duboce Triangle 
 areas. The park continues to evolve as a living human rights memorial with 
 the dedication from local residents and businesses, school kids, tourists 
 and visitors, along with the generous support from private and public 
 donors.\n\nThe Monument:  California granite pylons rise in remembrance of 
 the tens of thousands of homosexual men who were persecuted, imprisoned and 
 murdered during and after the reign of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi 
 Germany.\n\nThroughout history, there are times when prejudice overwhelms 
 all reason and humanity. Such was the case under the Nazis. But even after 
 the Nazis’ defeat, the discrimination against the gay community 
 continued, using Paragraph 175 of the penal code. Briefly freed from 
 concentration camps by Allied troops, those prisoners wearing the pink 
 triangle badges were returned to finish their sentences. Those who survived 
 two imprisonments emerged as second-class citizens, even under 
 democratically elected governments.\n\nPink Triangle Park is a place of 
 remembrance and reflection, to wonder and educate, a quiet place to repair 
 and renew. This hallowed ground attempts to remind  how persecution of any 
 individual or single group of people inevitably damages all humanity. 
 Please pause for a moment to reflect upon the moral, ethical and spiritual 
 aspects of that time and to embrace the individual responsibilities all 
 people share as citizens of a democracy.\n\nhttps://pinktrianglepark.org/\n
