Source cover or paper first page: The Final Solution to the Jewish Question: A Love Story for the Living

Dara Horn examines why antisemitism persists and why familiar responses can fail to address it.

The Final Solution to the Jewish Question: A Love Story for the Living combines historical discussion, reporting and personal experience.

Horn questions recurring myths about Jews and examines contemporary responses to anti-Jewish hostility.

She argues for a response that attends to living Jewish communities and their future.

The episode introduces her argument as a contribution to a continuing debate about antisemitism and Jewish life.

Alongside Horn, the conversation draws on economic and historical research, including The Chosen Few by Maristella Botticini and Zvi Eckstein.
