JL;DR SUMMARY The People of the Pod podcast episode this week covers three main topics: Dr. Einat Wilf's insights on President Trump's Israeli-Palestinian peace plan and its implications for Israel's future, Rabbi David Rosen's discussion of the historic visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau by Muslim World League Secretary General Dr. Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa and Islamic religious leaders, organized by AJC, and Melcher de Wind's reflections on his father Eddy de Wind's book "Last Stop: Auschwitz," the only novel penned inside the Auschwitz death camp after its liberation 75 years ago.

• But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
• And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
