Dara Horn: The Failures of DEI, Holocaust Education and the Erasure of Jewish Identity

Award-winning author Dara Horn has written some of the most creative and compelling books on Jewish history and collective identity in recent years. Discover how Horn's work sheds light on contemporary challenges as she continues our ongoing analysis of Jewish miseducation, rising antisemitism, and the systematic erasure of Jewish identity.  We'll discuss the failings of DEI and Holocaust education; IHRA; why people revere dead Jews while ignoring the needs of living ones;  lies our bubbes and zaydes told us;  the origins of Jewish guilt; and what 21st century Jews can learn from Jewish communities during the American Civil War who maintained their Jewish communal identity even while fighting on different sides.
