Anna Hájková

Anna Hájková, a historian and director at the University of Warwick, sheds light on often-ignored queer narratives from the Holocaust in her new book. She discusses how archival silence and survivor testimonies have marginalized same-sex desire. Key figures like Gad Beck and Margot Heuman highlight the complexities of survival, while Anne Frank's diary faces censorship for its queer content. Hájková argues that understanding these stories is crucial for both historical awareness and contemporary identity, emphasizing the need for inclusivity in our narratives.
