The Pink Triangle Project is a multi-faceted artistic endeavor, undertaken by Valdosta State University Professor of Oboe Dr. Susan Eischeid, to commemorate the homosexual victims of the Holocaust through the commission and premiere of a new musical composition. Although many compositions exist that commemorate other victims of the Holocaust, none yet detail through music the experience and travails of the Pink Triangle prisoners. These individuals (forced by the Nazi regime to wear a pink triangle on their uniforms in the camps) faced inhuman conditions of brutality and persecution, resulting in one of the highest mortality rates for any group of prisoners during the Third Reich. Compounding the lack of attention given to these victims is the inability or unwillingness of the few survivors to share their experiences due to persecution after the war and continuing societal prejudices.
