It is not known exactly how many GLBT people were persecuted but it is guessed at that 5,000 to 15,000 homosexual males and other 'deviants' (bi-sexual and transgender were not separated out) were in camps or murdered. Lesbians appear to have escaped some of the persecution, but there still were many murders and more physical and mental abuse by the Nazi's.

Under Nazi German law, homosexual males were treated with the same severity as pedophiles, rapists and serial sex-murderers.

Over 400,000 homosexual men were killed in the Holocaust. It is unknown how many lesbians may have died as they were not branded as "homosexuals" with a pink triangle but rather under a generic black triangle that stood for women who disobeyed the expectations of the Third Reich.
