Summary

Pete just got back from Europe after almost 30 days abroad filming a documentary. His last stop was Berlin, where he sat down in an old Russian restaurant, and interviewed a woman named Anna, who grew up in communist East Germany. They talked about her father who was a spy for the East, and her first experience in the West. Although Anna's interview won't be released until the documentary is finished, Pete shares with us her stories. There's so much to learn about the mindset in today's America by reflecting on the mindset of post WW2 Germany.
