Readers who may be interested in the background of my work can visit http://www.henrygreenspan.com

The site is not yet updated to include the revised and enlarged edition of On Listening to Holocaust Survivors (now subtitled, Beyond Testimony). That edition contains about 30% new writing, with primary emphasis on what changes when one engages survivors through a multiple interview and collaborative approach.

Reflecting about her listeners in general, survivor Ruth Kluger wrote: "[I]f they did listen, it was in a certain pose, an attitude assumed for this special occasion; it was not as partners in a conversation."

My work has been an extended attempt, now for more than thirty years, to engage survivors as "partners in a conversation."
