On this day, 11 April 1945, as US forces approached, the inmate resistance seized control of Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany. However, when the Allies took control of the concentration camps many of those interned for homosexuality were not freed, but required to serve out the full term of their sentences under the homophobic Nazi penal code. Those who were released were not acknowledged as victims of Nazi persecution and were refused reparations.
