During the German Nazi regime, numerous homosexual people were interned in concentration camps together with Jews, Rom, children and adults with disabilities, opponents of the regime, communist people. What distinguished homosexual people from other prisoners was, in the case of men, a pink triangle sewn onto the uniform at chest height; in the case of women, a black triangle. It is common to refer to the extermination of homosexuals in Nazi concentration camps as Homocaust. It is estimated that there were at least one homosexual person interned in the concentration camps 50.000.
