My friend Jonathan Zatlin stops by to discuss the history of antisemitism in Germany and the historical symptoms of rising fascism. We also discuss the strategies the Nazi party used t slowly disenfranchise and essentially trap the Jews in Germany by taking their money and ability to leave . We also exchange stories about our time in Germany and dealing with the German Polizei. This is a very intense and interesting conversation with a brilliant human being!
