![]() ![]() As Horn observes of some high-school girls she met in Nashville when she was 17: “Like most people in the world, they had only encountered dead Jews: people whose sole attribute was that they had been murdered, and whose murders served a clear purpose, which was to teach us something. ![]() Jews, she writes, are “part of a ridiculously small minority that nonetheless played a behemoth role in other people’s imaginations,” both here and in countries where they have faced persecution and even extermination. Horn’s target is a world obsessed with dead Jews, whether found in Holocaust memorials, the rebuilding of old and abandoned synagogues and cemeteries, or in assigning students the reading of The Diary of Anne Frank. How can a book filled with anger, a book about anti-Semitism and entitled People Love Dead Jews, be delectable at the same time? The novelist Dara Horn has done it, combining previously published pieces in a work that is far greater than the sum of its parts. ![]()

Yet we’ve still seen the Holocaust play a key role in series built around time travel ( Russian Doll), vampires ( The Strain), serial killers ( The Patient) and action-driven revenge ( Hunters), while more viewers likely learned about the Tulsa Massacre through superhero ( Watchmen) and horror ( Lovecraft Country) shows than ever read about it in school.
