Hi, I’m Dr. Ashton Schottler. A former teacher and architectural historian with a PhD in Human Geography…. You can say, I like studying communities and I do that by examining how humans across the globe have shaped them. And as someone who has lived, studied and worked in both the United States and in Germany, I especially love the juxtaposition of life that manifests itself from one country to another. From macro-economics down to micro-urbanism, I explore and explain the political economics, society, and culture that shapes the world around you…. And I share all of this through my personal lens of an immigrant navigating that world with you. Uncovering the storytelling behind the data, I hope to keep these topics accessible, easy to understand, and interesting… I hope you will be entertained, and maybe learn something along the way. Do you have a question worth diving into? Well, Type Ashton and let’s find out together.

A fellow YouTube friend of ours, @FelifromGermany recently asked the questions: "Do Germans talk about the Holocaust? What do they teach about World War II in school? And is it okay to make a Hitler joke around a German?" And her experience as a German living in the USA, had me thinking a lot about my mirrored experience as an American now living in Germany. Do Americans talk about the atomic bomb and the impact on Hiroshima & Nagasaki? What do they teach American children about World War II in school? How differently do we remember and commemorate our fallen? Let's take a look. 🎥 More Videos to Check Out: Feli's (@FelifromGermany ) Do Germans Talk About World War II?
