Pink Triangle Legacies: Holocaust History and the Fight for LGBTQ+ Rights

CRC is honored to be a community sponsor of Pink Triangle Legacies, Holocaust History and the Fight for LGBTQ+ Rights, a public program at the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum.

This powerful presentation explores the history of the pink triangle, the LGBTQ+ community’s original pride symbol, tracing its transformation from a Nazi concentration camp badge into an enduring emblem of queer liberation, community, resilience, and pride.

Drawing on unexplored archival sources and original interviews, historian Dr. Jake Desai-Newsome will share the voices of LGBTQ+ Holocaust victims and illuminate the stories of queer people who found renewed meaning in the pink triangle in the decades after the Holocaust.

The presentation will be followed by a thoughtful dialogue with the Museum’s past Director of Education and Curation, Dan Reich, and a book signing.

All are welcome. Please join us, and bring friends.

Date: June 25, 2026
