About this episode
Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Batra 113, 114, and 115 , continue the discussion of death, dying, and inheritance. Internationally acclaimed author Alice Hoffman joins us to discuss her new book, When We Flew Away: A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary , a bold and beautiful imagining of the lives of Anne Frank and her family members from the day of the Nazi invasion to the morning they go into hiding. How can a book with such a famously tragic ending yet be hopeful? And how is Anne Frank's story a meditation on one person's ability to leave behind a powerful legacy that changes the world?
