Pink Triangle

Prisoners of the Nazi war camps were given a triangle, color coded to their offense or origin: yellow for Jews, brown for gypsies, black for anti-socials, green for criminals, and pink for homosexuals. Pink triangles were larger than the other triangles so that the "scum of the scum" could be easily recognized. Jews, gypsies and homosexuals were given the worst treatment of those at the camps. Today, the pink triangle has been reclaimed as a symbol of pride.
