Since 1980, the city of Frankfurt has hosted a program aimed at allowing former citizens, including those of Jewish descent AND those who suffered political or religious persecution, to visit the city. The programme is aimed at all those first and second generation, who suffered persecution during the National Socialist regime and were forced to leave Frankfurt.

On this episode of Both Sides, Allan and Mike explore Allan's recent trip to Frankfurt and discuss how Germany chose to face their crimes post World War II, including reparations.

On this special episode of Both Sides, we welcome award winning authors Robert Putnam and Shaylyn Romney Garrett! In their new book The Upswing, the authors state that history holds the answers to how we move out of these tumultuous times. They argue that America's Gilded Age shows remarkable similarity to our own, including a gap between rich and poor, and a societal focus on "I" rather than "we."

Listen in as our guest hosts Claire Bishop and Shaun Stsllworth talk to Putnam and Romney-Garrett about community, race, polarization, and how WE can come together - again.
