The park , a memorial to the LGBT men and women who suffered at the hands of the Nazi regime, is a reminder of the devastating effect that discrimination has on humanity.
Commemorates LGBT persons massacred during World War II. While the garments of Jews in concentration camps were marked with yellow stars of David, gays had theirs marked with pink triangles.
This is a beautiful little neighborhood park . A nice place to walk the dog!
