What does AM stand for in Frankfurt AM?
Frankfurt am Main = Frankfurt on the Main.
The 'am' is short for 'an dem' = 'on the'.
Main = the name of a river.
I have not heard it abbreviated Frankfurt AM, normally Frankfurt/Main, or Frankfurt(Main), or FFM, or FRA, but I guess it could be abbreviated like that.

When was Germany divided into West and East Germany?
The Berlin Wall was constructed almost overnight. It started on August 12, 1961 and after just a few months had become 66 miles of concrete and 41 miles of barbed wire. The wall was constructed mostly because of the way Germany was divided after World War II. The Allies divided Germany into four sections: Soviet, American, British and French zones of occupation. In Berlin, the eastern side was occupied by the Soviet Occupation and became increasingly conflicted with their western allies. The disagreements over how the country should be run, including debates over currency, resulted in a Soviet Blockade in Berlin from June 1948 to May 1949. Shortly after the city government split into two and in October 1949 the Soviet Union declared east Berlin as the German Democratic Republic. Over the years more and more tensions arose and the divide between democratic west and soviet east became increasingly problematic. Germans were fleeing the East daily by the thousands to search for better opportunities, and after the construction of the wall, around 5,000 East Germans escaped.

How have the Germans compensated for their wrongdoings to the Jews?
Germans have a number of standing laws and edicts enacted by the West German Government in the late 1940s and 1950s concerning Jewish property and the State of Israel. Germany gives Israel a set reparations payment every year and exports to them additional German products such as automobiles and electronics at subsidized prices. In addition, Germany has set up a collections fund to provide individual reparation payments to Jewish families that request reparations subject to general proof of loss.
The German people as a nation have, for the first time in any country, taken on a national sense of guilt and remorse for the actions of the Holocaust and have politically done everything in their power to preserve the memory of those acts by saving former synagogues, collecting former Jewish property for exhibitions and compensations (upon request), and building innumerable museums and memorials to the Holocaust. No other nation in history that committed genocide has ever gone as far out of their way to atone for that sin as Germany.
