Pink Triangle Memorial (2454 Market St)

This park is the first historical landmark remembering Homosexual men persecuted in Fascist Europe between 1933 - 1945. About 100,000 men were arrested during this period and as many as 15,000 were sentenced to work and death camps. Homosexual men, targeted in their assumption of feminine nature, were tagged with Pink Triangles. Lesbians were alternatively considered asocial instead of homosexual and were given black triangles and forced into prostitution.

In 2001, the Pink Triangle Memorial was dedicated to 15,000 men by erecting 15 pink and grey granite triangle pylons, together the pylons form a triangle, facing the Rainbow flag.
