Umsonst Gelebt: Walter Schwarze

“This film is part of a series of films on gay men who survived the Nazi era. I met Walter Schwarze when he was already in his eighties. My camera recorded his first public account of his five-year incarceration as a homosexual at Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He was in his fifties when he met Ali in his hometown of Leipzig; the two men became partners and remained close until his demise.

Walter Schwarze died of cancer on May 10, 1998.” Rosa von Praunheim
