Rudolf Brazda, Who Survived Pink Triangle, Is Dead at 98
Rudolf Brazda, believed to be the last surviving man to wear the pink triangle - the emblem sewn onto the striped uniforms of the thousands of homosexuals sent to Nazi concentration camps, most of them to their deaths - died on Wednesday in Bantzenheim, in Alsace, France. He was 98. Mr. Brazda, who was born in Germany, had lived in France since the Buchenwald camp, near Weimar, Germany, was liberated by American forces in April 1945. He had been imprisoned there for three years.
