Event Description
"Remnants" is a collection of short monologues based on survivors that Hank Greenspan (oral historian/playwright at University of Michigan) interviewed/schmoozed with over a 30 years period. They speak to some of the horrors themselves but mainly to the varied (and continuously evolving) ways in which these survivors have and continue to relate to their past. It is a very different approach to testimony. I feel that it is particularly relevant right now given that we are fast approaching a moment in which survivors themselves will no longer be here to share their stories.
