REMNANTS and What Remains

This moving collection chronicles the personal and creative journey of Henry Hank Greenspan across five decades of sustained collaborations with Holocaust survivors. The book includes his haunting playscript REMNANTS , which has been performed on more than three hundred stages worldwide. REMNANTS recreates stunning, sometimes shattering, moments in which survivors share the core of what they experienced, both during and after the destruction. Through a series of personal essays, Greenspan then reflects in What Remains on the play's creation, his cherished relationships with survivors, their loss of a world, and his loss of them. A memoir that reads like a spoken-word poem, this book offers new understanding of Greenspan's groundbreaking work in Holocaust studies as well as his contributions to oral history and performance.
