Overview<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=””]This teaching material for upper secondary school was developed in a cooperation between QWIEN – Center for Queer History in Vienna – and the OeAD program ERINNERN:AT. The aim was to develop learning materials for the first time that would enable teachers to deal with a long-forgotten and underrepresented group of victims of the Nazi regime in the classroom: those persecuted as homosexuals during the Nazi era.[\/vc_column_text]

Contents<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

The learning materials are based on eleven life stories of people from all nine federal states who were persecuted as homosexuals during the Nazi era, as well as the story of a perpetrator who was largely responsible for their persecution and arrest in Vienna. They enable low-threshold processing in the classroom. The biographical sketches range from life before 1938 to persecution (and murder) and life after 1945. The learning material is also dedicated to the (late) remembrance of the victims of Nazi crimes.<\/p>\n

Each biography is supplemented with a didactically prepared worksheet, which can be used to deepen the biographies, analyze additional sources and derive lifeworld and contemporary references.<\/p>\n
