- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 09:30 pm
- **Event Description**: On Wednesday 28th January 2026, from 7.30-9.30pm, Stroud Radical Reading Group will host a discussion of The Matchbox Girl, to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. This is a book written by a local (as well as multi-award-winning) author, Alice Jolly. The book is described as a “beautiful, stunningly ambitious novel telling the story of a young girl’s battle for survival and search for the truth in occupied Vienna”. It explores themes of neurodiversity, fascism, and resistance. Our discussion will follow Community Solidarity Stroud District’s annual memorial ceremony on Sunday 26th January, which this year will be addressed by Alice Jolly among other speakers.

We will meet at Redz Youth Hub, 6 Threadneedle St, GL5 1AF. Entry is free and anyone interested in the book is welcome – you don’t need to have read it to join us. See below for more information.

On our website you can find more information about the event, Stroud Radical Reading Group sessions, and the venue. You can also find a link to buy the book at a discount, and free text, audio/visual resources. There is also more information about the book and Stroud Radical Reading Group events.

Entry to the reading group session is free and everyone is welcome – you do not need to have attended previous sessions, and we do our best to make the sessions welcoming to people who have not been to reading groups or similar settings like university seminars before. We encourage people to read as much of the book as possible, but you are welcome to attend to listen to the discussion without reading any of it.
