March Book Group - People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn

There are 12 essays in this text which explore the different way we commemorate Jewish tragedy, how we write about the Holocaust, how the media presents anti-Semitic events, how we establish museums to honor Jewish heritage, how we read literature with Jewish protagonists and how we praise the “righteous among the nations”. The author’s main issue, though, is the concrete, specific death of Jews. WINNER OF THE 2021 NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD FOR CONTEMPORARY JEWISH LIFE AND THE NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR
