Righting old wrongs - Germany - Brief Article
Advocate, The, June 25, 2002
German lawmakers on May 17 officially pardoned about 50,000 gay men sent to concentration camps during World War II. It was an extension of a 1998 law that cleared the names of hundreds of thousands of Germans convicted of other crimes under the Nazis.
German justice minister Hertha Daeubler-Gmelin welcomed the action as long overdue. "We all know that our decisions today are more than 50 years late," she told parliament. "They are necessary nonetheless. We owe it to the victims of wrongful Nazi justice."
