Survival and Identity in World War II Berlin

The chapter delves into the survival strategies of individuals like Gad Beck, a gay Jew who played a crucial role in saving hidden Jews during World War II. It explores the challenges faced by Beck while being captured and forced to write confessions by the Gestapo, but cleverly never revealing the identities of those he was sheltering. The narrative also sheds light on the cultural shift in Germany towards openly discussing different aspects of the Holocaust, including the plight of homosexuals under Paragraph 175.
