Congratulations to @ankahajkova.bsky.social, whose book People without History Are Dust has won the National Jewish Book Award (Holocaust category).
This book magnificently reframes Holocaust history by centering queer desire and intimacy.

"The Holocaust was not only perpetuated by ideologues but also carried out through bureaucratic means.”
Our acting Co-Director @ceschmidt.bsky.social spoke to @nytimes.com for this fascinating feature out today ➡️ www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/w...
Today, 82 years ago, the SS separated half of the Theresienstadt Family Camp, the BIIb section of Auschwitz Birkenau. Those 3700 people who arrived six months earlier and were still alive from the original 5000 were sent to gas chambers and murdered.
PhDs and ECRs are invited to join our next PhD and a Cup of Tea Online seminar!

Congratulations on this award, @ankahajkova.bsky.social ! A much-deserved honour!
Fantastic and much deserved! Congratulations, Anna!
Six months until the publication of ‘Homophobia in Nazi Concentration Camps’ with @uoftpress.bsky.social The book is an analysis of queer experiences and accusations through the lens of prisoner perceptions. Pre-order now wherever you buy books!
NB: Just a few years ago, pretty much all queer organizations commemorated #HMD. And then most stopped. Among the Holocaust victims were also tens of thousands of queer & trans people persecuted for their sexuality - and millions of Jews. Shame that solidarity is lost in post Oct 7 politicization.
I will have this book event next week on Tuesday in London. In person, in Finchley:

I am very pleased to see the announcement of Uta Rautenberg's much expected book on homophobia in Nazi concentration camps:
Now available: People Without History are Dust deepens our understanding of identity, survival, and memory by exploring same-sex desire in the Holocaust.

In her new book, People Without History are Dust, Dr Anna Hájková explores same-sex desire in the Holocaust, telling the gripping stories of queer Jews that have been long silenced by the homophobia of survivors.
Sign up now to hear Dr Hájková speak about this important new work:
Very exciting times!
On 10 December 2025, the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership (HGRP) @hgrporg.bsky.social will be hosting two events with Dr Anna Hájková on her latest book, 'People Without History Are Dust: Queer Desire in the Holocaust'.
Congratulations, Anna! 🎉
My next book has a cover! I Will Not Abandon You is a new history of queer women under Nazism that calls for us to rethink how we understand fascist persecution as well as the very foundations of progressive politics today. You can preorder it anywhere you buy books
