Biography
Alfred (Fredy) Hirsch was born in Aachen, Germany in 1916. Hirsch was a Jewish teacher and sportsman, notable for helping and supporting thousands of Jewish children during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in Prague, the Theresienstadt ghetto and then, in the Auschwitz concentration camp. He was given several opportunities to leave occupied Europe but would not leave the children alone. He was taken unconscious to the gas chambers and murdered together with almost all the children under his supervision on March 1944.
Homosexuality
Fredy's homosexuality was known to many people in Theresienstadt and in Auschwitz, and was notable considering the prejudice towards homosexuals at that time.
