Best-selling author and three-time National Jewish Book Award winner Dara Horn joins Karol Markowicz to discuss her new book, The Final Solution to the Jewish Question: A Love Story for the Living, and what thousands of years of Jewish history can teach us about survival, courage and refusing to bow to tyranny.

Horn explains why she sees Jewish civilization as a tradition built around questioning, dissent and individual agency—and why the Jewish people don't fit neatly into modern categories of religion, ethnicity or identity. She also discusses the rise of antisemitism since October 7, her experience serving on Harvard's antisemitism advisory group and the challenges Jewish students face on elite college campuses.

Karol and Dara also examine whether institutions like Harvard can change, why Horn believes some traditional approaches to combating antisemitism have fallen short, and her efforts to educate students about Jewish history through the Tell Institute.

Plus, Horn shares an optimistic prediction about the future of artificial intelligence and truth online—and explains why having the courage to speak up, even when doing so carries a social cost, can ultimately strengthen your integrity.
