About this episode

Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein interviews three-time National Jewish Book Award Winner Dara Horn about her latest work, the Passover-set graphic novel One Little Goat, and about the alarming rise and historical roots of antisemitism. Horn, one of America’s most insightful Jewish commentators, is also the author of five best-selling novels, as well as the 2021 essay collection People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present. She says she has been “completely obsessed” with Passover since she was a child and sees a link between her new graphic novel, One Little Goat: A Passover Catastrophe (Norton Young Readers), and the nonfiction work that has made her a leading voice in the discussion of the global rise of antisemitism. Pesach, she says, represents the “institutionalization of resilience.”
