The article is an attempt to reconstruct the experiences of concentration camps’ homosexual prisoners on the basis of their memories preserved in autobiographical texts and analysed using the biographical method. The aim of the article is to describe the stigmatisation and pathologisation of homosexuality in the dominant ideological discourse of the German Reich, and to prove that the rationalisation of violence resulted not only in persecution by camp staff, but also in harassment from and homophobic attitudes among other prisoners, manifested in acts of sexual violence or exclusion from the camp community. The analysis focuses on the physical violence, isolation, forced labour and sharper strictness, highlighting the fluidity of the boundaries between camp procedures and excessive cruelty.
