Heinz Heger
Josef Kohout (January 24, 1915 – March 15, 1994) was an Austrian Nazi concentration camp survivor, imprisoned for his homosexuality. He is known best for the 1972 book ''Die Männer mit dem rosa Winkel'' (''The Men With the Pink Triangle''), which was written by his acquaintance Hans Neumann using the pen name Heinz Heger, which is often falsely attributed to Kohout. The book is one of very few first-hand accounts of the treatment of homosexuals in Nazi imprisonment. It has been translated into several languages, and a second edition published in 1994.〔 It was the first testimony from a homosexual survivor of the concentration camps to be translated into English, and is regarded as the best known.〔 Its publication helped to illuminate not just the suffering gay prisoners of the Nazi regime experienced, but the lack of recognition and compensation they received after the war's end.
Kohout's book inspired the 1979 play ''Bent'', by Martin Sherman, which was made into the movie ''Bent'', directed by Sean Mathias, in 1997.
==Biography==
Kohout was born and grew up in Vienna. His mother, Amalia, and father, Josef senior,〔 were wealthy Catholics, and his father had a high-ranking job in the civil service. Kohout was arrested in March 1939, at age 22, when a Christmas card he had sent to his male lover, Fred, was intercepted.〔 His lover Fred, whose father was a high-ranking Nazi official, was deemed "mentally disturbed" and escaped punishment.〔
Several sources,〔 including his own account, mention that the German penal code's Paragraph 175 was the basis of Kohout's incarceration. However, since he was convicted by an Austrian court and Paragraph 175 didn't apply for Austrian citizens, he was convicted on basis of the Austrian penal code.〔
