Her testimony in Interwiews by Professor Hajkova, Associate Professor of Modern Continental European History at the University of Warwick (Great Britain), is a description of a queer persona who has only now been able to tell her biography as a self-determined lesbian persona.
She experienced Theresienstadt, Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen as a lesbian woman with her friend Dita.
Mrs. Heumann überlebte the camps and lived in America. She entered into a marriage and had 2 children. Only in old age she could go as a queer person to the Öffentlichkeit, because she built to Mrs. Hajkova, even lesbian, a special trust relationship.
