{"product_id":"ghosts-of-home-marianne-hirsch-9780520271258","title":"Ghosts of Home: The Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory","description":"In modern-day Ukraine, east of the Carpathian Mountains, there is an invisible city. Known as Czernowitz, the \"Vienna of the East\" under the Habsburg empire, this vibrant Jewish-German Eastern European culture vanished after World War II--yet an idealized version lives on, suspended in the memories of its dispersed people and passed down to their children like a precious and haunted heirloom. In this original blend of history and communal memoir, Marianne Hirsch and Leo Spitzer chronicle the city's survival in personal, familial, and cultural memory. They find evidence of a cosmopolitan culture of nostalgic lore--but also of oppression, shattered promises, and shadows of the Holocaust in Romania. Hirsch and Spitzer present the first historical account of Jewish Czernowitz in the English language and offer a profound analysis of memory's echo across generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marianne Hirsch, Leo Spitzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520271254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520271258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Marianne Hirsch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054476030207,"sku":"9780520271258","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_742c269d-29e6-4e38-8a02-589ad5508014.jpg?v=1685030193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghosts-of-home-marianne-hirsch-9780520271258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
