CALL ME BACK PODCAST WITH DAN SENOR Dara Horn: Is there a Final Solution to the Jewish question? Dan is joined by author Dara Horn to discuss her new book, The Final Solution to the Jewish Question: A Love Story for the Living. Five years after her book People Love Dead Jews diagnosed how society relates to Jewish suffering, Horn now addresses what can be done about it.
