ITALIAN VERSION + English Subtitles
Talking about Seel's traumatic story means highlighting the horrors committed by the Nazis even against those who were classified as homosexual.
The Naked Pink focuses above all on a painful and terrible episode that will mark Seel's emotions for the rest of his life. At the time of his internment, he was only 17 years old.
Deported to the Schimerck camp, he will witness the atrocious death of his companion.
Among the millions of victims affected by Nazi madness during the Second World War, the Frenchman Pierre Seel was deported by the Germans on 13 May 1941 and interned in the Schirmeck concentration camp, 30 km from Strasbourg, where he suffered torture and violence because of his sexual orientation.
Having survived this terrifying experience, Seel, after the end of the conflict, in an attempt to give new meaning to his life, got married and became a father.
In 1982, however, he was the first to denounce the terrible events that he shared with thousands of other homosexuals, branded like him with the pink triangle: a sensational coming out that added further horror to horror.
Taking inspiration from his autobiography Moi, Pierre Seel, déporté homosexuel, Il Rosa Nudo recounts the Holocaust in a theatrical and evocative way, also dwelling on Carl Peter Veernet's scientific theories for the cure of homosexuality, which effectively paved the way for Nazi persecution.
