Ep. 21: Dara Horn: ‘People Love Dead Jews‘

Author Dara Horn joins JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin to discuss the way sympathy for dead Jews gives the world a permission slip for hating live ones. The two talk about her new book "People Love Dead Jews: Report From a Haunted Present" and topics like the role that the memory of Anne Frank plays in granting the world absolution for the Holocaust, the dishonest effort to claim that “The Merchant of Venice” isn’t anti-Semitic, 'Jewish heritage' tourism and myths about name changes at Ellis Island.
