Deutsch-griechische Geschichtspolitik: Keine Zukunft ohne einen neuen Umgang mit der Geschichte
German-Greek History Policy: No Future without a new Approach to History

Summary/Abstract: 80 years after the German invasion of Greece, war and occupation are still an important topic for the German-Greek bilateral relations. Especially the question of war reparations is broadly debated and discussed among and between the societies. Especially after the German-Greek clashes over the right politics regarding the so-called Euro-crisis after the 2009 Greek bailout, the topic became relevant for headlines in both countries again. While German governments for decades were only roughly neglecting the Greek claims for a financial compensation of the state, now it is time to rethink this approach and to find anew way for a German-Greek rapprochement in history politics and to solve the historical and morale duties of Germany in a better, but realistic way.
