He completed clinical internships (psychology) at the Brandeis Psychological Counseling Center and the University of Michigan Psychological Clinic.</p> 341<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 342<p class="from_wysiwyg">He is a an emeritus psychologist, oral historian and playwright at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor who has been interviewing, writing about, and teaching about Holocaust survivors since the 1970s. Rather than one-time "testimony," Greenspan's approach has been multiple interviews with the same survivors over a period of weeks, months, years, and--with a few people--even decades. His work demonstates that how and what survivors retell is different in the context of sustained acquaintance and deepening conversation than in single "testimonies." <em> </em>In 2024, interviews with Hank about his work appeared in the <em>Journal of Holocaust Research (formerly Dapim)</em> with Kobi Kabalek and the <em>Oral History Journal</em> with Malin Thor Tureby. A <em>Festschrift</em> inspired by his work and edited by Kobi Kabalek and Rachel Baum was published in <em>Holocaust Studies: a Journal of Culture and History in August 2024. </em>Also in 2024, he was one of four recpients of The Holocaust Educational Foundation's Distinguished Achievement Award for "extraordinary contributions to the field of Holocaust Studies through groundbreaking scholarship and devotion to students." In 2025, he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree from Malmo University in Swede
342n for his work in oral history with genocide survivors. Recently, he was invited to keynote Sweden's 2026 annual Holocaust Remembrance ceremony.</p> 343<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 344<p class="from_wysiwyg">Greenspan is the author of <em>On Listening to Holocaust Survivors: Beyond Testimony (now in its second and expanded edition)</em> and, with Agi Rubin, <em>Reflections: Auschwitz, Memory, and a Life Recreated</em> as well as numerous articles on survivors' retelling, including the chapter on survivors' accounts for the Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies. A new book was published in August 2025 entitled REMNANTS <em>and What Remains: Moments from a Life Among Holocaust Survivors.</em> The volume is a literary memoir published in Wayne State University Press's Made in Michigan Writers Series. Itincludes the full playscript, history, and production guidelines for his play, REMNANTS, as well as a sequel, <em>What Remains</em>, which is a series of eight spoken word memoir pieces from his fifty years of sustained collaborations with survivors. Professor John Roth wrote about this new book:</p> 345<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 346<p class="from_wysiwyg"><em>"This moving autobiographical narrative about Hank Greenspan's 'moments from a life among Holocaust survivors' stands with the legendary testimony of Primo Levi and Jean Améry. What remains from Greenspan's exceptional playwriting and performance, from his lifelong listening and deep recounting includes this classicâa book bound for intense reading and ongoing study as it connects memory and memorial, making loss and resistance against it inseparable."</em></p> 347<p class="from_wysiwyg"><em> </em></p> 348<p class="from_wysiwyg">Greenspan has been the annual Weinmann lecturer at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington (USHMM). In 2011, he co-led with Wendy Lower the annual Hess Seminar for Professors of Holocaust Courses at the USHMM. In 2012, he was the Fulbright Visiting Research Chair at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University in Montreal. He received the 2020 article award from the Oral History Association for "The Humanities of Contingency: Interviewing and Teaching Beyond 'Testimony' with Holocaust Survivors." </p> 349<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 350<p class="from_wysiwyg">His award-winning play, REMNANTS, was originally produced for radio at WUOM-FM in 1991 and distributed to NPR and APR. Greenspan has since presented it as a one-person stage performance at more than 300 venues worldwide. More recent plays include "Done is Done," "The Spike," "The Perfect Game," "East Angels," "Boxes," "AmericaNirvana," "Arithmetic," "Gravediggers," and "Death / Play, or the Mad Jester of the Warsaw Ghetto." "Gravediggers" is a short one-act set in the midst of the war in Ukraine. "Death / Play" focuses on the perspectives of those who did not survive—and knew they wouldn't. Short plays that have been performed online include "The Rock," "A Man Grieves for his Car," "The Drug War," and "The Stall."</p> 351<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 352<p class="from_wysiwyg"> A short version of "Death / Play" received the "audience favorite" award during its two-week live stream in May-June 2021 as part of the "Down to Clown' festival in Brooklyn. REMNANTS similarly received the "fan favorite" award at the 2022 Marsh Theater internatioal Solo Festival in San Francisco in March 2022. An in-studio performance video of REMNANTS can be accessed at https://youtu.be/Vty8b_euk-k</p> 353<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 354<p class="from_wysiwyg">Greenspan is also an actor. Most recently he was a Finalist in the 2022 Alvin Epstein Memorial Prize for Solo Performance. He has peformed REMNANTS across the U.S. and Canada as well as in the U.K., France, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Israel. As noted, that includes more than 300 venues. He played "Gancwajch' in his two-hander, "Death / Play," that has now been streamed widely.</p> 355<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 356<p class="from_wysiwyg">As a lyricist, Greenspan has been a top 5 category winner three times for "Outstanding Achievement in Songwriting" from the Great American Song Contest.</p> 357<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 358<p class="from_wysiwyg">REMNANTS is based on Greenspan's decades of sustained conversations with survivors. The piece was originally produced for radio and broadcast on NPR stations across the United States. REMNANTS has won more than a dozen awards including the Attic Theater Center of Los Angeles New Plays Festival, the Henrico National Competition, the New Hope Performing Arts Festival, and numerous public radio awards. Stage venues have included the John Houseman Theater in New York, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Magdeburg Barracks Theatre in the former Theresienstadt camp--a space that was used for performances during the Holocaust itself.</p> 359<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 360<p class="from_wysiwyg">Performance of REMNANTS at the Marsh Theater International Solo Festival, March 2022</p> 361<p class="from_wysiwyg">https://youtu.be/LVu8XhcMXjw An in-studio performance video can be accessed at https://youtu.be/Vty8b_euk-k</p> 362<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 363<p class="from_wysiwyg">His essays and poetry have appeared in a range of periodicals including the Harvard Divinity Bulletin, Tablet, The Forward, Jewish Literary Journal, The Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel, Light Poetry Magazine, Rat's Ass Review, Lighten Up Online, Quatrain Fish, The Deadlands, Poetry Super Highway, Shofar, Covid and Poetry, Gnashing Teeth Publishing, Stick Figure Literary Journal, Boston Globe, and the Detroit Free Press. His song lyrics received 2018 and 2019 "outstanding achievement in songwriting" awards (top five finalist) from the Great American Song Contest.

While these phrases stand for real and important things, it has long been Greenspan's conviction that they have become so generalized that their specific meanings have been lost. To say it differently, they play a larger role in <em>_our_</em> "stories" <em>_about_</em> survivors than survivors' own lives and recounting.
371 As in the title of On Listening, we need to go "beyond testimony"--and also beyond "trauma" and "stories" as umbrella terms.</strong></p> 372<p class="from_wysiwyg"><strong> </strong></p> 373<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 374<p class="from_wysiwyg">To view an excerpt from REMNANTS from a 2017 performance at Williams College,</p> 375<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 376<p class="from_wysiwyg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ7VcqtfDNo</p> 377<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 378<p class="from_wysiwyg">A ten-minute Storycorps interview on Greenspan's work can be found at:</p> 379<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 380<p class="from_wysiwyg">https://arts.umich.edu/news-features/bicentennial-storycorps-interview-no-12-survivors-have-life-after-life-before-life-during/</p> 381<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 382<p class="from_wysiwyg">"American 'Auschwitz,'" which concerns the surge of Holocaust invocation in the U.S. since the 1970s, can be found in Tablet at https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/holocaust-unexpected-places-greenspan</p> 383<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 384<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 385<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 386<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 387</div> 388</div> 389</div> 390 391 392</div> 393</div> 394</div> 395 396 397</div> 398</div> 399</section> 400</section> 401</main> 402</div> 403<div class='sbx_wrapper_footer' id='sbx_wrapper_footer'> 404<footer> 405<div class='sb_region sb_site_copyright_region'> 406<div class='sb_copyright_wrapper'> 407<div class='footer-left'> 408</div> 409<div class='footer-right'> 410<div class='social'> 411</div> 412</div> 413 414</div> 415</div> 416</footer> 417</div> 418<div class='modal modal-public' data-ajax-modal> 419<div class='modal-fade-screen'> 420<div class='modal-wrapper'> 421<div class='modal-inner'> 422<div data-ajax-modal-content></div> 423<div data-ajax-modal-loading> 424Loading…} 425</div> 426</div> 427</div> 428</div> 429</div> 430 431<div class='modal' data-image-modal> 432<div class='modal-fade-screen'> 433<div class='modal-wrapper'> 434<div class='modal-inner'> 435<i class='image-modal-close ss-icon ss-delete'></i> 436<img data-image-modal-content> 437</div> 438</div> 439</div> 440</div> 441
