{"product_id":"branded-by-the-pink-triangle-ken-setterington-9781926920962","title":"Branded by the Pink Triangle","description":"A history of the persecution of gay men by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust. When the Nazis came to power in Europe, the lives of homosexuals came to be ruled by fear as raids, arrests, prison sentences and expulsions became the daily reality. When the concentration camps were built, homosexuals were imprisoned along with Jews. The pink triangle, sewn onto prison uniforms, became the symbol of their persecution. This book combines historical research with first-person accounts and individual stories to bring this time to life for readers. From the first chapter, with its story of a young Jewish girl who was rescued from the depths of despair and starvation in the camps by a fellow prisoner who wore the pink triangle, to the last, entitled It Gets Better, which outlines the strides forward in gay rights made in the decades since the war, the feeling of bravery and perseverance in the face of inhuman cruelty shines through.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Setterington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1926920961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781926920962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Second Story Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 6.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e160899 \/ Branded by the Pink Triangle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Stonewall Book Award - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 pg. 119\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2013 - Recommended - Better Than Most","brand":"Ken Setterington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050944753919,"sku":"9781926920962","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91d9cf14-4570-4e48-a138-2b8522f15a0d.jpg?v=1685010166","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/branded-by-the-pink-triangle-ken-setterington-9781926920962","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
