Memorial for gays persecuted by Nazis opens in Berlin. The memorial will consist of a grey rectangular block some four meters tall. One side will have a small opening through which viewers will see a black and white art film scene of two men kissing.
"A simple kiss could land you in trouble," says the text which accompanies the memorial.
The memorial was designed by Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset. DW | artist info.

wow...an important step in the recognition of continuing discrimination and bigotry
but slightly disturbing/somewhat amusing that the memorial is getting criticism for being sexist by protraying two men kissing (no women to be found?)
