SUMMARY:Erev Yom HaShoah: ‘People Without History Are Dust’: An In Conversation with Dr Anna Hájková and Rabbi Kamila Kopřivová
DESCRIPTION:MON 13 APR 2026 18:30 Westminster Synagogue\, London \nWhere are the stories of great queer love in the Shoah? There are almost none. Dr Anna Hájková examines why the history of same-sex desire during the Shoah – queerness among Jews persecuted by the Nazis for their race – is largely absent from history books\, and how restoring these narratives can contribute to a more inclusive understanding of the Holocaust. \nBased on extensive archival research and oral histories\, her book\, recently awarded the 75th National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category\, offers a concise and accessible insight into the queer history of the Holocaust for both general readers and specialists. On Monday 13th April\, Anna will discuss her research in conversation with Rabbi Kamila Kopřivová on the occasion of Yom HaShoah\, the annual day of Holocaust remembrance in the Jewish calendar. \n\n\n 	6.30pm – Erev Yom HaShoah Service\n 	7pm – In Conversation\, followed by Q&A and refreshments\n 	Early Bird Tickets: £15 members / £20 non-members\nEarly bird ends Monday 6 April\nBOOK NOW\n\nDr Anna Hájková is Reader of modern European continental history at the University of Warwick. She is the author of\, among others\, The Last Ghetto: An Everyday History of Theresienstadt (2020) and People Without History Are Dust: Queer Desire in the Holocaust (2025) which won the 75th National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category\, in February. Hájková is the pioneer of queer Holocaust history.

SUMMARY:Semafor: The Birth of Pop Culture in Prague’s 1960s
DESCRIPTION:Bursting into the 1960s with wit\, charm\, and a rebellious spirit\, Prague’s Semafor Theatre became a beacon of creativity behind the Iron Curtain. The unforgettable duo of Jiří Suchý and Jiří Šlitr brought Czechoslovakia its first wave of modern pop\, offbeat humour\, and a form of rebellion that spoke a language different from that of official power and the media. Their songs became the soundtrack of a generation and a symbol of cultural resistance. In this special event\, music historian and author of Suchý & Šlitr\, Semafor 1959–1969\, Pavel Klusák\, and Jiří Šlitr’s daughter\, Dominika Křesťanová\, share stories\, rare insights\, and the cultural legacy of a duo who defined an era\, and the rebellion that stole a language for its own game. \n\n\n\n\nThis event also marks the recent release of Pavel Klusák’s book Suchý a Šlitr: Semafor 1959–1969 (Host\, 2024\, 456 pages\, ISBN 978-80-275-1813-5)\, which explores the rise of Semafor and its cultural impact during a decade of change. The book\, awarded the Egon Erwin Kisch Prize for non-fiction\, offers a vivid portrait of the duo’s creative world and their lasting influence on Czechoslovak popular culture. \n\n\nAdmission: £7 (+ Eventbrite fee)\nBOOK NOW
