Episode Description

People keep comparing ICE to the Gestapo. But is that the right historical analogy?

We we talk with public historian Ashley Baron aka @ashleytheebarroness who went viral making the argument that the comparison overlooks a home-grown analogy. We also speak with Claire Aubin who is a Nazi-era historian and host of the podcast, This Guy Suckedto break down what the Gestapo actually was — and why the ideology behind it matters more than any one-to-one comparison people point to.
