Summary

Then she chats with American expat Dana Newman about coming to terms with Germany’s dark past. And finally, Gaby listens to an old conversation with her late grandmother about her experiences in Nazi-occupied Europe. TW: anti-semitism, Holocaust and allusion to sexual assault This episode is sponsored by State Farm (www.statefarm.com) and Worthy (www.worthy.com/bad) Learn more about your ad choices.
