God of Peace and Mercy, while we mark the painful memory of all the victims of Nazism: because of their religion, their ethnicity, their sexual orientation, or their political affiliation, we entrust to you especially the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender deportees who suffered, died, sometimes survived, and then became victims of the silence imposed by the invisibility of their reason for persecution, and of the legal frameworks that still rendered their existence illicit. In their memory, God of the Universe, lead us toward siblinghood, distance us from all Manichean thinking that leads to fascism, and enable all those whose vocation it is to work for the memory, the recognition, and the reparation of the crimes committed by Nazism and all the dictatorships. In the name of your son who showed us the path of radical Love, we pray to you. Amen.
