In 1941, Manfred Lewin (left), a young Jewish man living in Nazi Berlin, made a small book of poems and pictures. He gave this book to his boyfriend, Gad Beck (right), as they waited out an air raid together.

Today, The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has a beautiful online exhibit where you can view this book in its entirety, along with translations and additional information. It’s a wonderful little piece of queer history, and I encourage you all to check it out here.

Lewin’s home was at Max-Beer-Str. 38, 10119 Berlin (at the center of the city). You can find a good number of German Jews’ addresses if they were from Berlin via their memorial plaque listing: https://www.stolpersteine-berlin.de/de/stolpersteine-finden
I think that context can be helpful for re-humanizing these victims as people and not just statistics or stories.
