Gender fluid Kedarie Johnson had just moved to Iowa with his brother and mom. His mom was trying to raise her children in a less violent atmosphere. The kids were mostly very accepting of Kedarie and his flamboyant ways. Then two strangers came to town, kidnapped Kedarie when Kedarie was dressed femininely, they tried to rape Kedarie and discovered his male genitalia. The men then murdered Kedarie. True Crime Quickie is the murder of Jack Frew in Scotland.

S. 9 Ep. 6 Gay Men and Heroes in Nazi Germany WWII

8 Recommendations

To say the treatment of gay men in Nazi Germany at the time of WWII was atrocious...would be an understatement. Gay men were considered the low of the low and oftentimes given the worst jobs in the camp to "toughen" them up. Join C.J. for this historical look back at these war crimes.
