Shownotes

It was only a matter of time before This Is Your Afterlife included lighthearted discussions of the Holocaust. I'm pleased they come in this episode with Hebrew & Arabic literature scholar Sheera Talpaz (Oberlin College).

Content warning: Palestine, Israel, (anti-)Zionism, Auschwitz, "Never again" for whom?, middle school, motherhood, euthanasia rollercoaster.

For a taste of her work, read her article, "Yehuda Amichai, the Unlikely National Poet," about nationalism (and the resistance to it) and translation as it relates to the titular poet.
