Marianne Hirsch is a Romanian-born American scholar of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. Born in Romania after the Second World War, she later immigrated to the United States as a teenager. Hirsch is best known for developing the concept of “postmemory,” which explains how later generations inherit and emotionally experience the traumatic memories of earlier generations, especially the Holocaust. Her research focuses on memory, trauma, family narratives, gender studies, literature, and photography. She has collaborated extensively with Leo Spitzer and has authored and co-edited several influential books, including The Generation of Postmemory and Ghosts of Home.
