• The Nazi Era: Episode 5: Pierre Seel

  In 1939, French teenager Pierre Seel had his watch stolen at a cruising spot in his hometown. When he reported the crime to the police, he was placed on a list of suspected homosexuals. Two years later, with the city now under Nazi occupation, he was summoned by the Gestapo.

To stay true to the original French testimony, we’ve not updated that term in our voiceover translation.  Visit our episode webpage for additional resources, archival photos, and a transcript of the episode.
