All Warwick staff welcome to come along and join us for a good old sing song every Tuesday lunchtime. It’s a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere and a good opportunity to leave the work behind for 45 minutes, meet new people and have fun. Everyone, regardless of singing ability/experience, is welcome. We sing a variety of music and will tailor the choices to the choir's preferences, the option to have sheet music is there but not a necessity at all. We would love to see you there!

The Amazing Life of Margot Heuman is a play about the first, and probably the last, lesbian Holocaust survivor to bear testimony. Born in 1928 in Germany, Margot Heuman is a survivor of Theresienstadt ghetto, Auschwitz, Neuengamme, and Bergen-Belsen.

The play, which takes its text from interviews conducted by Warwick University historian Anna Hájková, offers a poignant look on coming of age as a Jewish queer woman in the concentration camps. In the play, Margot Heuman reflects on love, choices, sexual violence and sexual barter, homophobia, and survival. Moving, funny, pragmatic, and original, she reminds us of humanity within the society of Holocaust victims, but also of the stories that have been erased by homophobia. Heuman, who passed away in May 2022 and was eulogized in New York Times and the Times of London, will probably remain the only lesbian voice to speak about her experience in the Holocaust. “I am amazing,” she tells her interviewer, and the audience.
