On Oct. 27 at the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum, Eric Marcus will highlight the hidden history of LGBTQ+ Holocaust victims.
Marcus, the founder and host of the award-winning podcast “Making Gay History,” will illuminate these voices through the special program “Making Gay History Time Travel.” He will provide a sneak preview of his podcast’s upcoming 10-episode series, which highlights the lived-experiences of LGBTQ+ people during the rise of the Nazi regime and throughout the Holocaust. Through extensive research and archival interviews, he will share a glimpse into this often concealed past.
“It’s really groundbreaking research, and it brings attention to lesser-known groups of people who were targeted during the Holocaust,” said Helen Turner, director of education at the Museum. “I really hope that this serves as a bridge to widen the circle at the museum and get more people involved in the mission and seeing themselves in the conversation.”
The event at the St. Louis Holocaust Museum will begin at 3 p.m. in the Museum’s auditorium. General admission is $5, and tickets can be purchased online. More details here
