Original Note:
There is dispute about how to define the term Holocaust, but over 10,000 LGBT people were sent to death camps https://www.hmd.org.uk/learn-about-the-holocaust-and-genocides/nazi-persecution/gay-people/ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/391661.The_Men_with_the_Pink_Triangle https://www.advocate.com/news/holocaust-lgbtq-victims-german-parliament Earlier destruction of documents makes it hard to determine who was gay or trans, e.g. the library of a trans health and research institute was burned in 1933. https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/6-may-1933-looting-of-the-institute-of-sexology/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-forgotten-history-of-the-worlds-first-trans-clinic/
