Germany and Israel—a story of Guilt and an unlikely Friendship: 60th
anniversary lecture
Sixty
years ago, against a backdrop of shared history marred by tragedy, Germany and
Israel tentatively embarked on diplomatic relations. What initially appeared
improbable, given the scars of the past, has since matured into a flourishing
friendship and a robust economic alliance. This narrative of reconciliation is
illuminated through the lens of German Historian Anette Isaacs, who reveals her
nation's confronting of its Nazi legacy and the weight of collective guilt.
Join her as she delves into the poignant yet indispensable process that paved
the way for a profound new chapter in German-Israeli relations—a testament to
resilience and the power of reconciliation.
