| Details: | During the Holocaust, LGBTQI+ persons occupied varying roles, including perpetrators, victims, bystanders, resisters, and everything in between, yet their stories have often been relegated to the shadows by postwar politics and the queerphobia that both predated and outlasted the Nazi regime. Join us in welcoming Dr. Alexis Herr, author of LGBTQI+ Persecution and the Holocaust: An Encyclopedia of Prejudice and Perseverance, as she sheds light on these overlooked experiences. You'll hear about lesbian and gay resisters, bisexual and gay perpetrators, a transgender member of the Hitler Youth, and much more. These stories challenge us to reconsider familiar narratives of the Holocaust and recognize the diverse experiences that have long remained at its margins. This talk is sponsored by the Dr. Harold Abel Endowed Lecture Series in the Study of Dictatorship, Democracy and Genocide at Central Michigan University. |
