In this timely and deeply resonant conversation, Mandana Dayani sits down with acclaimed author Dara Horn to explore themes of identity, resilience, and remembrance. 

Horn, whose powerful work "People Love Dead Jews" sparked widespread reflection and later became the basis for her bestselling book of the same name, shares her perspective on how antisemitism manifests today—especially in the wake of October 7th. With clarity and conviction, she challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths, urging a deeper understanding of how prejudice persists, and how communities can move forward with strength and empathy. 

Her piece for The Atlantic, “Why The Most Educated People In America Fall For Anti-Semitic Lies,” sets up the conversation that is not only a reflection on history and literature, but a call to action: to stand against hate and to pass on generational stories that continue to guide and inspire.
