Depending on your political orientation, this time in America is either the dawn of a new age or something like "springtime for Hitler."

Kadish, the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, is the author of the novel The Weight of Ink.
Shattuck, the granddaughter of Nazis, wrote the novel The Women in the Castle. We discuss both of their books, and their thoughts on how that earlier time sheds light--or darkness--on our own.
