Körber History Forum

Is Britain’s vision of reinvigorating its global position within a “Commonwealth 2.0” a misconception of past colonial greatness? In the latest episode of our podcast History & Politics, historian Philip Murphy talks about colonial legacies of the British Empire in times of Brexit and British attempts to reconcile with the past.

Members of the Körber History Reflection Group from 10 European countries discussed the current legacy of the Hitler-Stalin pact with representatives of the Office of the Federal President. Key question of the debate was how, today, 80 years after the onset of the Second World War, this could and should best be internationally remembered.
