In 1994, the Museum acquired the unique collection of Josef Kohout. More widely known as Heinz Heger, Kohout’s experiences are the subject of The Men with the Pink Triangle, the first published account of a gay survivor of the Nazi camps. Dr. Klaus Müller, the Museum’s Representative for Europe*, shares his story.
