Reed Edwin Peggram was a black gay man who successfully fled a Nazi concentration camp with his Danish lover, Gerdh. Professor Ethelene Whitmire is here to tell us all about this cautionary tale of the people lost in history that came before us, and the sacrifices that they lived through because they were LGBTI+, or because they were LGBTI+ and black.

If you have information relevant to Ethelene's research you can contact her at ewhitmire@wisc.edu

Special thanks to Ethelene for sharing this incredible story with us!

Your host is Anders Larsen - also known as the drag queen Chantal al Arab.
