How much more remains to be discovered?

     When gays were liberated from Nazi concentration camps, they were simply tranferred to West German prisons.
     Now, a new horror emerges from the 1950s:

Dutch Roman Catholic Church 'castrated at least 10 boys'

At least 10 teenage boys or young men under the age of 21 were surgically castrated "to get rid of homosexuality" while in the care of the Dutch Roman Catholic Church in the 1950s.

     "...Sources told Mr Dohmen that the surgical removal of testicles was regarded as a treatment for homosexuality and also as a punishment for those who accused clergy of sexual abuse."
