The Pink Swastika

[Magda Hassan]

The Pink Swastika is a book by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams. The authors argue that the homosexuality found in the Nazi Party contributed to the extreme militarism of Nazi Germany. The title of the book, as well as the book itself, is a spin-off from a book by Richard Plant called The Pink Triangle: The Nazi War Against Homosexuals, a book detailing homophobia in the Nazi Party and the gay victims of the Holocaust. Lively and Abrams also take up the subject of Nazism in America and discuss how the Boy Scouts have been treated. The links between certain Muslims and Nazi Germany are also investigated. The book claims that many leaders in the German Nazi regime, including Adolf Hitler himself, were homosexual and claims eight of the top ten serial killers in the US were homosexuals.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pink_Swastika#cite_note-0][/url]
