Legacies of Occupation. National Socialism and the European Present

Talk with Bartosz T. Wieliński, Elisabeth Steiner and Isabel Heinemann
Moderation: Sabine Adler
The exploitative policies of the German occupation - robbery, destruction, forced labor and murder - left deep wounds in the countries affected. How did this shape Europe's post-war economy in the long term? How are reparation and restitution claims discussed today?
In conversation: Bartosz T. Wieliński, journalist and deputy editor-in-chief of Gazeta Wyborcza, Elisabeth Steiner, lawyer and president of the Arbitration Tribunal for Nazi Looted Property, and Isabel Heinemann, historian and director of the Institute of Contemporary History Munich-Berlin
Legacies of Occupation. National Socialism and the European present
The Second World War and the German occupation of Europe ended more than 80 years ago. But the associated experiences of violence continue to shape European societies to this day. At the invitation of the ZWBE, prominent voices will discuss these effects in relation to current political conflicts, long-term economic developments, social coexistence, culture and forms of remembrance.
