About this talk
Where are the stories of great queer love in the Shoah? 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 marginalised, and how its return to our understanding of the Holocaust can offer an inclusive history of this genocide. Based on original and extensive archival research, her talk offers new ways to make sense about the Holocaust, antisemitism, and the return of the extreme right in the recent years.
