Monument to gays in Berlin

The monument has been designed by Norwegian-Danish artist-duo and it will remind of the tens of thousands of homosexuals, who were killed by Hitler’s regime.
The decision on construction of a monument was accepted the Bundestag several years ago under the initiative of public figures of Germany. The government has allocated 450 thousand euro for these purposes. Since then the jury under direction of minister of culture of Germany was engaged in consideration of memorial’s projects.
The form of memorial will represent a concrete cube. A window, in which it is planned to show serially two video projections, will be cut out in it: the first episode will represent a kissing men and the second one - lesbian couple. Authors of the project emphasize, that during with 1933 for 1945 lesbians were also exposed to persecutions.
Let’s remind, in 2009 in Berlin the first hotel for gays of Spanish hotel group Axel Hotels will be opened.
