I never imagined I would have to write these words, but I am terrified that I may lose my mother at any moment after everything she has endured.

Her doctors have told us that her treatment can no longer be delayed, and we urgently need $700. To many, it may seem like just a number. To us, it could mean the difference between having more time with my mother or losing her forever.

Every day I watch her grow weaker, and there is nothing more painful than feeling helpless while time slips away.

If you are able to donate, no matter how small the amount, you could help give my mother another chance to live. If you cannot donate, please share this post. It may reach someone who can.

There is still hope, but that hope grows smaller with every passing hour.

People Without History Are Dust

Queer Desire in the Holocaust

Anna Hájková (Author), William Jones (Translated by)

Queerness remains one of the most stigmatized and overlooked aspects of Holocaust history, often erased due to the lingering homophobia of survivors. People Without History Are Dust challenges this silence, weaving together compelling stories of German, Dutch, Czech, and Polish Jewish Holocaust victims and survivors - including Anne Frank, Molly Applebaum, Margot Heuman, and Gad Beck - whose experiences help illuminate the hidden history of queerness in a time of genocide.

Drawing on extensive archival research, this groundbreaking book uncovers the lives of those who were doubly marginalized, not only persecuted as Jews but also as queer individuals. In doing so, it confronts the ways in which history has excluded or minimized their experiences, urging us to question normative accounts of the Holocaust.

By shedding light on these long-overlooked stories, People Without History Are Dust deepens our understanding of identity, survival, and memory, reminding us why an inclusive and complex approach to history is essential - not just for the sake of the past, but in service to the present and the future as well.
