Albrecht Becker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albrecht Becker (14 November 1906 – 22 April 2002) was a production designer, photographer, and actor, who was imprisoned by the Nazi regime for the charge of homosexuality.
Born in Thale am Harz, Germany, at eighteen, Becker fell in love with an older man, with whom he lived for nearly ten years. In 1935 he was arrested on suspicion of violating Paragraph 175 and sentenced to three years in prison at Nürnberg.
On his release he joined the German army and served on the Russian front until 1944. He died in Hamburg, Germany.
In 2005, Rosa von Praunheim made a film called "Love and Torment – Albrecht Becker" about Becker, in which Becker "tells, among other things, about his prison term for homosexuality under the Nazis and admits that as a masochist, he rather enjoyed it." [1]
