The Auschwitz-Birkenau museum, located at the site of the former German Nazi concentration camp in Poland, recognized a gay victim of the Holocaust. The museum tweeted that a minimum of 77 men with pink triangles were imprisoned in Auschwitz & 25 more people could have been arrested for their real or alleged homosexuality but under a different prisoner category. The tweet was posted on the birthday of a German man named Johann Mauler, who was born on April 24, 1897, and imprisoned at the concentration camp from November 12, 1941, until his murder on February 14, 1942. He was one of at least 77 people imprisoned at Auschwitz
