The Körber History Reflection Group brought together 21 high-ranking experts and representatives from 11 European countries for its inaugural meeting in Minsk, Belarus, from 6 to 8 December. The Meeting highlighted the seminal importance of the world war era for the formation of Central Eastern Europe’s societies and memory.

For the first time the Körber History Reflection Group brings together 20 distinguished international experts to discuss in Minsk on 6 December issues related to the politics of memory. The issue of overcoming divisions that follow from conflicting views on history in Europe’s former ‘bloodlands’ will be at the heart of the confidential debates.

On 27 November, Körber Foundation in cooperation with the Federal Foreign Office hosted the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum. Under the headline “Unite or Decline: Europe’s Future in an Unruly World” the Forum set the stage for discussions on the most important foreign policy challenges for Germany and Europe.

Transatlantic relations are freezing over: a representative survey commissioned by Körber Foundation on how Germans view current foreign policy issues found that 73 per cent of Germans rate their relationship with the US as ‘somewhat bad’ or ‘very bad’. More detailed results are available in the new issue of ‘The Berlin Pulse’.
