Queer History Club: People Without History Are Dust – Queer Desire and the Holocaust
People Without History Are Dust: Queer Desire and the Holocaust
Where are the stories of great queer love in the Shoah? There are almost none. Anna Hájková explains why the history of same-sex desire in the Shoah, that is, queerness among Jews persecuted by the Nazis for their race, has been excluded and marginalized, and how its return to our understanding of the Holocaust can offer an inclusive and feminist history of this genocide. Based on original and extensive archival research, her book offers a concise insight into the queer history of the Holocaust for beginners and advanced alike. Anna Hájková will introduce her book in conversation with Helen Finch and Kit Heyam.
