Under the title "Reconciliation in Crisis?" The Saxon Protestant Academy and the Silesian Museum in Görlitz are organizing a discussion event that will look at the signs of crisis in contemporary European relations and with Russia. Ways of overcoming divisions, images of the enemy and war will be discussed. The discussion will be inspired by the legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the analysis of this legacy by the Polish sociologist Anna Morawska. Her work "The Christian in Resistance" has been an important contribution to reconciliation between Poles and Germans since the 1970s.
Two representatives of the Krzyżowa Foundation will take part in the panel debate with the Prime Minister of the Free State of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer: Dr. Robert Żurek, Managing Director of the Krzyżowa Foundation and Dr. Annemarie Franke, a member of the Supervisory Board of the Krzyżowa Foundation and a representative of the Federal Institute for German Culture and History in Eastern Europe.
Dr. Marek Prawda, diplomat and former ambassador of Poland to Germany, will give an introductory lecture.
The event will take place on 25 June 2022 from 14:00 to 16:00 as part of the Lausitz Church Day under the title "Von Wegen" in the Silesian Museum in Görlitz.
