About

We are grateful and fortunate to have Eva Clarke with us on the evening of the 21 January 2026 to talk about her difficult start in life during the last week of the Second World War, born in the concentration camp Mauthausen. She and her mother were supposed to be gassed as a punishment as pregnancies were not permitted (and this was already her mother's second) but the camp had run out of Cyclone B and four days after her birth Mauthausen was finally liberated. Eva talks very widely about having been "born a survivor" and how her Czech family was almost wiped out by the Third Reich's gigantic scale genocide and how this has overshadowed her life since. To book your tickets early, please go to Eventbrite. There is nothing to pay, we kindly ask for registration in order to gauge the size of the audience.
