To commemorate the Transgender Day of Remembrance, join us for an online lunchtime lecture exploring stories of transgender and queer holocaust survivors, and post-war LGBTQIA+ anti-fascist activism.
The lecture will bring to light stories of queer resistance during the Holocaust and post-war LGBTQIA+ anti-fascist activism. They will also explore the fascinating stories of resilience and survival from trans patients and staff at Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.
A collaboration between People’s History Museum (PHM) and the Wiener Holocaust Library (WHL). The lunchtime lecture will be given by Jaime Starr, a PHM Collections Assistant, freelance LGBTQIA+ historian, and doctoral scholar at Newcastle University, and Yasmin Gledhill, the Digital Engagement and Community Outreach Officer at the WHL.
