But during the Third Reich even kisses among men were forbidden, and thousands of gay people were persecuted and put into concentration camps. There was a pink triangle fastened to their prison uniforms. And still today gay and lesbian people are persecuted in many parts of the world. Violence and discrimination against them happens also in "civilized" countries. Every day. So this pieces is a remembrance of the persecution in the past and the discrimination today. It is therefore devoted "to a friend´s friend"... Enjoy this very special piano work and the outstanding interpretation by pianist Hal Freedman from Philadelphia / USA. Please be sure to also have a look at the fantastic and touching movie that Hal has created for this piece! http://www.youtube.com/user/steveberlin0815 http://www.youtube.com/user/hmfreedman/featured The picture is taken from the "Memorial to Homosexuals persecuted under Nazism" in Berlin, where an endless film show two men (and in a more recent version also two women) kissing each other. More works of this collaboration project with Hal Freedman will be published soon. We are planning a free-download-album on BandCamp and a charity album on iTunes and many other platforms. All revenues (if there are any...) will go to relevant charities. We want the messages of this "Holocaust Remembrance Suite" with pieces like "The Kiss", "The white Rose" and more to spread as far as possible. Thank you also for sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Google+ etc. Wikipedia links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_triangle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_to_Homosexuals_Pe rsecuted_Under_Nazism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_homosexuals _in_Nazi_Germany_and_the_Holocaust Source / Web : | YouTube Video | | |||||
