<div><strong>We are deeply grateful to have secured a uniform worn by a gay prisoner, along with the accompanying castration document and a photograph of him wearing the uniform after the war.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>To ensure these rare and powerful artifacts are properly preserved and safely displayed, we are raising $15,000 to build a custom, climate-controlled, and tamper-proof display case equipped with a state-of-the-art security system.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your support will help us protect and share this vital piece of Holocaust history so that future generations can learn from it. Please consider contributing toward this effort—every donation makes a difference.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This artifact tells a powerful story of persecution, survival, and resilience that must never be forgotten. With the support of ABC News San Diego, we are raising awareness of this extraordinary opportunity.</strong>

<div><strong>A Chilling, Vital Chapter of History</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I have spent the past five years curating Holocaust exhibits throughout San Diego County—educating, honoring, and ensuring the world never forgets. Through RUTH: Remember Us The Holocaust, we have reached thousands of students, families, and community members with stories of resilience, loss, and hope.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Now, I need your help to preserve one of the rarest and most powerful artifacts I have ever encountered:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A concentration camp uniform marked with the pink triangle—the symbol the Nazis used to identify and persecute gay men.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A photograph of the survivor who wore it.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A harrowing document in which he volunteered for castration—a devastating choice made under unimaginable persecution, simply because he was gay.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This was the last uniform he wore. His story is one that history has too often buried—but we cannot allow it to remain hidden.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This artifact is more than fabric and paper. It is a symbol of survival, resilience, and truth. It honors those whose suffering has too often been left out of the Holocaust narrative.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our vision is to preserve and protect this artifact, and one day display it in the permanent home of our Holocaust Museum—a space dedicated to remembrance, inclusion, and truth.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Your Gift Will Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Acquisition and conservation of the artifact</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Archival preparation and display, ensuring its preservation for future generations</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Museum development efforts, to create a permanent educational home where stories like his will never be forgotten</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure an artifact that tells a silenced chapter of Holocaust history—one that speaks not only of Jewish persecution, but also of the suffering endured by gay men, Romani people, and so many others.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Remember Us. Remember Him.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your donation will help ensure that this survivor’s story is preserved, honored, and shared with the world.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to safeguarding his legacy and making sure his suffering was not in vain.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With gratitude,</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Sandra Scheller</strong>
