Life

Marci Shore attended William Allen High School in Allentown, Pennsylvania , studied history at Stanford University (BA) and at the University of Toronto , where she received her MA in 1996. As a student, she was in Prague for the first time in 1992. In 2001 she received her PhD from Stanford University. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harriman Institute at Columbia University , assistant professor of history and Jewish studies at Indiana University from 2002 to 2006 and visiting professor at Yale University . She has been teaching European history as an Associate Professor at Yale University since 2007. In 2004 she was invited to the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna as a Senior Fellow .

Shore has published two books and writes reviews and articles, etc. a. for Contemporary European History , The Journal of modern history , East European Politics and Societies and The Times Literary Supplement . She has received several awards for her published dissertation, including the Fraenkel Prize in Contemporary History and the National Jewish Book Award . She translated Michał Głowiński's autobiographical childhood memories Czarne sezony from the time of the German persecution of Jews in Poland into English.

Her book The Taste of Ashes. The afterlife of totalitarianism in Eastern Europe is a travel report through the post-communist states of Eastern Europe, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania and Romania, as well as through states of the former Soviet Union. She summarizes conversations that she has had over twenty years. According to the reviewer Katharina Bader, the book is not a social science investigation. In the book it is also not clear how Shore defines the term totalitarianism , which she uses in the title. Also Jens Bisky was found in his review in the Süddeutsche Zeitung rather disappointed at the lack of political theory. For Jana Hensel , the Jewish perspective under which Shore summarizes the conversations is remarkable, especially as this is more of a shortcoming in German contemporary history.

Shore is currently writing a presentation about the Ukrainian Euromaidan .

Shore is married to the Eastern European historian Timothy Snyder .
